Hi:
Your notebook's processor is an integral part of the motherboard and cannot be upgraded unless you replace the motherboard with one listed in chapter 3 of your notebook's service manual that may come with a better processor.
Since the notebook is so new, an upgrade like that would probably cost as much or more than buying a new notebook that already comes with better hardware.
