Laptop screen upgrade

yes you can upgrade t, i believe Technology News, Computer and Notebook Reviews, Computer News, Computer Mods, PC News | Maximum PC even has a how-to but it's not a task for amateurs and if you have to ask if it's even possible your likely not up to the task. why are you so eager to upgrade your laptop in so many ways?

Can you provide a link to the actual how-to? (I've placed a small bet with myself on that.)

If you really want to try to replace a laptop screen, get the service manual from the manufacturer. Otherwise you won't even get close and will probably break something in the process

wrong magazine it was this one. Replace Your Laptop Screen - ComputerShopper.com

The article is about replacing a laptop screen as a repair, not about switching to a touchscreen display in a laptop that never had one.

That's a good general purpose article, but it's still a good idea to get the actual manufacturers' service manual for the specific model you're going to be working on. Unfortunately for the OP, HP doesn't offer an LCD with a higher resolution than the one he already has for an HP DV7.
