Hello! I want to ask somebody, may I upgrade my processor from Intel Core i5-7200U to Intel Core i7-7700HQ so that I can render videos faster, play games and record videos for YouTube better, and also will this eventual upgrade be worthful?

Thank you in advance!

Best!

Alexander

Hi Alexander,

 

It is not possible to upgrade the processor as they come integrated on the motherboard. You would need to replace the whole motherboard with CPU and GPU which would most likely cost more than buying new PC with the desired specifications.

 

On page 67 of service manual you can see all the system board available for your model. As you can see there is no motherboard available with Core i7-7700HQ.
