Hey guys,

 

I'm looking to upgrade my processor from i5-4210U to the maximum possible model.  Is it convenient to upgrade?  Is the CPU is soldered to the motherboard ? 

What's the possible way to resolve my query ?

Unfortunately, the answer is no. 

 

The installed processor is already at the top of the list of fourth-generation Intel Core processors that can be installed.

 

Jumping from fourth gen to fifth gen processors on the same system board is not possible because the sockets and pin setup is different.

 

See the Maintenence & Service guide at the link below. (Chapter 1 page 1 is of particular interest to you)
