i was curious to know that can i upgrade(change to a better version like i7, i5 8th gen ) my Laptop's CPU.
I've
Sony Vaio SVF15218SNB
RAM 8GB(UPGRADED: default 4GB)

Processessor Intel corei5 3th gen(3337u)

please let me know As soon As Possible
 
Solution
The i5-3337u CPU is "socket BGA" which means it is soldered into the motherboard. Also, different generation CPUs have different numbers of socket pins making them incompatible with each other.

No, you cannot change CPU generation without replacing the motherboard and even the RAM. Some laptops you cannot change the CPU at all without replacing the motherboard because the CPU can sometimes be soldered to the motherboard.
