I have two Dell laptops. The one I use has is a Latitude E5540 with a i5-4310U. The other computer is a Latitude 3580 that has a i5-7200U cpu. Can I swap the prosserers? Are they compatible? I'm a beginner to this so Google isn't that helpful to me. And they are time consuming to open just to be wrong. Thank you.

CPU: AMD A8 5500 (3.2/3.7GHz)
GPU: Asus GeForce GT 1030 (2GB)

no

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

They 2 chips won't be compatible with each other's motherboards, so the quick answer is no.
