Is it possible to replace the processor on a laptop?

I want to change the processor from AMD A6-3400M to A10-4600M. I want to embed a processor on a k53ta laptop. They converge on the socket fs1. Consume the same amount of 35W. Will I be able to install a processor? What should I pay attention to when replacing the processor?

The fact that -
a) The processor is soldered on the motherboard, so for replacement you need to be very good at BGA soldering technique
b) The fact that all the same sockets are different - "AMD A6-3400M APU Socket: FS1" and "AMD A10" -4600M APU Socket: FS1r2". Also different platforms and microarchitecture, which can also play a role.
c) The BIOS for your laptop may simply not have support for a new processor
