You will need to replace the system board - the CPU is not separately replaceable. There are some i7 boards for this system -- but bear in mind that if you also change from an integrated video to a discrete video board, you will also need to replace the heatsink assembly and, if you have a 65W or smaller capacity power adapter, you'll also need a higher power adapter (90W or better).

Hi all, Over the last few years, I have upgraded my memory to 16gb, then a larger SSD but the bottleneck remains my ridiculous 2 cores (4 threads) and was wondering if there's any way to upgrade that as well at some point instead of getting a new one.... Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7600U CPU @ 2.80GHz
Is there a way to upgrade the CPU for my Latitude 5480
