No, that is not a simple swap. You have to buy a new System board which contains
(a) New mother board.
(b) New CPU,
(c) New GPU,
(d) New Windows license
Because all 4 components above are on one piece of hardware called System Board. This would be a very expensive upgrade. If you wish to go ahead, there are 2 choices on page 63 of the following manual
