All in one 24-f0066 upgradeable processor?

[Tdoro2021]

Hello, My son has an All in One 24-f0066 that has an Intel I3-8130u processor. He wanted to know if upgrading to an I5-8250U 4 core processor would make a noticeable difference in gaming or overall speed with schoolwork/e-learning programs/zoom, etc...  My question is, on the HP website , it says it is upgradeable to that I5-825OU processor, but the socket type says BGA 1356. After researching, this BGA 1356 is a soldered in. So is it upgradeable, but not to an avg. diy guy like myself? Is this upgradeable by computer techs only and would it be worth the cost ? Also where would I be able to find an I5-8250U processor with a socket type BGA 1356? 

Thanks for any replies in advance.

@Tdoro2021 , welcome to the Community.

This is one of those situations where you have to order computer with the processor that you want installed.  I am not certain that it would be a good idea to even try to have it upgraded by a Tech.  The truth is, he would most likely not see enough benefit from the upgrade to make it worthwhile.  The AIO computers are simply not meant for gaming.

You are welcome, @Tdoro2021!

I have heard of a young man who was playing games during school.  Of course, his parents weren't thrilled with him.
