To upgrade the CPU, you will need to replace the entire system board, yes.

Thanks for the details, I need to upgrade for Inspiron 3543. You have mentioned Inspiron 5447 which is not applicable for my laptop. I checked the website as well, they are only supporting in USA. I'm from India & if I order from there it will cost more than what is purchase including taxes & all details. If there's such site for India as well it will be great.
As planning to upgrade my lapy with more than the current one.

@Ameya1
3TB or 4TB will still work in just about every laptop made with a SATA or M.2 interface.

@Ameya1
Dell manuals are good for referring to what was sold with the laptop.
They are not referring to the limitation of the hardware.
