Hi:

 

That wouldn't be possible.

 

The processors are part of the motherboard, and the only way to upgrade the processor would be to replace the entire motherboard with one listed in the service manual that may come with a better processor.

 

In order to go to a 7th or 8th gen processor, you would need to buy a G4 or G5 Z-Book as applicable.
