I wanted to know if the cpu is socketed or soldered on.(if it's upgradable or not)

I am looking to upgrade my laptop. I know that it has 2 RAM slots and I will most probable getting 16Gb of RAM and also upgrade the hard-drive to an SSD. I wanted to know if a CPU upgrade is possible. Also, I am getting incredibly low WiFi speeds. Even if I have a 100Mb/s Bandwidth, Even if I sit right next to the router, I am barely getting about 10Mb/s. I have tried all software fixes available on the internet like disabling Windows update optimization, Metered connection etc. I have also dual booted the machine with Ubuntu and Windows 10 Home 64bit but Even on Ubuntu, It seems to give me not more than 20Mb/s. I am looking if a WiFi card upgrade is possible as this is an old model and the fault can be with the WiFi card. I need help on all these issues. A reply would be much appreciated as I could not find much help on this model on the web.

Thanks!
