Hi:

 

The processor is an integral part of the motherboard and is not removable.

 

The only way to upgrade the processor would be to replace the motherboard, and there is no service manual for your notebook's model series that I could find.

 

The one on the support page is outdated, and only has the motherboards for the notebooks with the Intel 8th gen core processors.

The cost of replacing the motherboard on a brand-new notebook like yours, would exceed the cost of buying a new one with a better processor already included.
