Hi, the laptop has CPU: Intel Core i3 @ 2.20GHz Kaby Lake-U/Y 14nm Technology.
If I want to replace it with an i7 core, which one should I choose, which i7 is compatible with the model?
Thanks.

Unfortunately, the processor is integrated onto (soldered on) the system board (motherboard).
Upgrading the processor means actually replacing the complete system board, so that is not a viable option.
