How can I upgrade my laptops Processor
Hey! my name is Hina Waheed and I am from Pakistan.
I bought this laptop 1 year ago (second handed) for my studies purposes, being a Town Planner I need to work on different applications of drafting (e.g. AutoCAD, GIS) I have tried a lot to make it install these applications but my laptop keeps showing me that the processor of laptop is not enough...
laptop details: Dell Latitude E5470, CORE i5 vPro.
Help me out of this.
Thanks

You would have to replace the motherboard as the CPU is integrated on the MB.

An older post, I know, but I wanted to respond to it anyway.
Just a few short years ago, Dell not only had upgradable CPU sockets but, they also updated the BIOS too, enabling the system board to work with newer/more high-end CPU's ; (that's provided they had the same CPU socket type and same, or close to wattage.)
For example, I upgraded my Dell Latitude E6440 from a Core i5-4300m to a Core i7-4712MQ. The performance upgrade was significant. These days, however, it seems none of the laptop makers want users hanging onto completely functional laptops that only need an upgrade tweak or two to stay on a performance parity with newer models.
BTW - That i5 to i7 upgrade put my older laptop's CPU performance about 2000 Performance mark points above your 2 generations newer CPU; (single thread count performance is higher too.)

But in fairness, you're comparing an apple with an orange. The i7-4712MQ is a full-power, 37W CPU. The i5-6200 is a low-voltage, low-power 15W CPU.
And since Intel has long since ceased producing socketed mobile CPUs, even if an OEM wanted to provide a socketed processor, they no longer exist. The only way to build a mobile system with a socketed CPU is using a desktop processor (which Dell has recently done with the Alienware area 51M systems, and Clevo does with its 17" high performance gaming/workstation systems).
