No, it's BGA. Also an 6th gen i7 is 2c 4t just like the i5 so it wouldn't make that much of a difference even if it was possible.

I am currently using laptop with HP  8136 PFJEAE21V9GKBB  31.43 motherboard....It has 8 gb of ddr3 RAM with core i5 6th Gen. processor. Is it possible to upgrade the processor to core i7 6 generation ? I am really thinking about to changing a processor in my laptop but I am not getting needed information about processors and upgrades supported by my HP Pavillion motherboard. My bios serial number is CND53897D4.

Upgrading CPUs in laptops often isn't possible, do your research and check if you can upgrade the CPU in your laptop. Upgrading ram, and storage is however probably possible.

 

Btw, it is probably DDR4.

I'm pretty sure it's soldered in so you can't change it out the same as a regular desktop CPU.  But that's going off of a tiny picture I found online and not any intimate knowledge of your laptop's hardware.

Short answer: no.

Long answer: Still a probably no.. But one might argue that you could desolder it from the board and solder a new BGA component in place. But that is a really difficult thing to achieve, which would require a new CPU as well as all the tools for BGA soldering. So at that point you might as well get a new laptop.
