Can a celeron processor of a laptop be changed to a centrino or creo with the same laptop? And how?

Laptops in and of themselves are really limited when it comes to later upgrades, you can change the size of the hard drive, install a different optical drive, replace a worn out battery or AC power supply, and possibly add more memory after purchase. But when it comes to the idea of changing a processor or motherboard, it is basically impractical, very expensive, and not something most repair technicians would suggest doing. It isn't just a matter of openning the case, taking off a heatsink, lifting out the processor and installing a new one like you can in a desktop computer. Laptops are for the most part designed to be used the way they are built, and if you want a faster processor later, you will have to purchase a new laptop. I repair computers and laptops for a living, and I can assure you that if a customer asked me to change a processor in a laptop I would explain why it isn't practical or cost effective and suggest they consider purchasing a new laptop.

Typically no. I don't know of a single laptop where this can happen.

centrino really isnt a processor type, the centrino label is made for laptops with an intel processor, intel motherboard, wireless card, and chipset.
