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).
