No. You need the same generation CPU -- 7th -- to upgrade or downgrade.

Yes, 3668 chipset is H110, which is skylake and supports skylake cpu natively.
i7-6700 is a skylake cpu (6th gen)
if you have i3-7100 now which is a kabylake cpu (7th gen), this suggests Dell has provided bios update to H110 chipset of 3668.
