Hi,
On page 98 of service manual you can see the compatible CPUs for the model
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04823617.pdf
Since you already have an i7, probably the only upgrade which would greatly improve everyday performance would be to install an SSD (if there is not already one in the machine)
You could replace the Hard Drive with a 2.5" SATA3 SSD and reinstall the OS
EX
Max RAM for the machine is 16GB of DDR3l 1600MHz

Hope it helps,
