The maximum processor in that product range was the Core i7-5500U. However, to change the processor involves replacing the system board, which will be uneconomic, also the gains if you changed the system board will perhaps be rather modest - you are simply moving to a faster processor that is now three generations old. If the processor is inadequate, you would be better off buying a properly specified new system and selling what you have now to offset the cost.

 

Maximum RAM officially in this series was 8GB - I don't know whether 16GB would work if two 8GB modules were fitted. From the factory, you had 4GB. 8GB is often the 'sweet spot' for many Windows 10 users.

 

 

I think the only cost-effective improvements to the performance of this system would be to fit a further 4GB of RAM, also fit a 2.5 inch SATA SSD in place of the mechanical hard disk. These changes will likely make the system much more responsive.
