Hi,

It is not possible to upgrade the CPU as it is integrated on the motherboard (soldered).

You could upgrade the RAM to max 16GB. However, the most noticable upgrade would be to replace the 2.5" HDD with a 2.5" SATA3 SSD such as the 2.5" Samsung 860 Evo or similar. This would give a great boost to the everyday performance of the notebook.
