I have a Compaq Presario 6016US, running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack3.
I bought a Honestech VHS to DVD 4.0 Deluxe program which does not work on my computer because I failed to realize my computer did not have a 64 bit processor.
So, I am wondering how hard is it to update a processor. I have researched on YouTube and watched some videos on how to upgrade a processor and feel I could probably do it myself. But I would like some professional advice.
Another question that came up while doing my research pertains to the motherboard. If I do upgrade the processor will the motherboard recognize it? I have no idea how to tell if the motherboard will be compatible with a processor upgrade.
I also have a MacBookPro laptop and would love to be able to find a program that would convert my VHS tapes to DVD. The only one I could find was a Roxio program that has mixed reviews.
So I would appreciate any help with either the processor upgrade for my Compaq or a suggestion for converting VHS tapes to DVD on either the Compaq or the Mac.
