Hi:

 

The processor your notebook has is an integral part of the motherboard and cannot be upgraded.

 

The only way to upgrade the processor would be to replace the motherboard with one listed in chapter 3 of your notebook's service manual that may come with a better processor.

You can upgrade the memory to 2 x 8 GB and you can remove the 500 GB mechanical hard drive and replace it with a 2.5" SSD in the capacity you want not to exceed 2 TB.
