upgrade the processor
I have Dell Inspiron 3501 Intel core i3 1115g4
I want to know whether I can CHANGE the SOLDERED PROCESSOR to i5 or i7 because the motherboard supports it.

The CPU is soldered to the mainboard, so the entire mainboard must be replaced.
Downsides:
1. Cost
2. You will lose your system warranty
If cost isn't an object and you don't care about losing your warranty, call Dell for a price on a board (expect $400-500 for a replacement board on a new system like this one).
