Processor upgrade Inspiron 5368

I'd like to know if it is possible to change the processor for another better. I have a Inspiron i3 5368 2-in-1. I've already changed the HD for a SSD and increased memory for the maximum possible.

The upgrade is possible only by replacing the entire system board, and only if you have an i5 or below CPU -- if you already have an i7, there's no further upgrade. 

The board:

The cost of a board will be close to -- more, in some cases, than a replacement system with a much newer CPU than the 6th generation this one is limited to.

Thank you for sharing the link, I will try to figure it out for more.

Correct -- the CPU is soldered to the system board.  To upgrade to the i7, you must replace the entire mainboard.

It means that It is not possible to replace only the processor? I have a i5 6th generation and would like to get a i7.
