    No laptop with an Intel graphics card can be upgraded, sorry.

    Not the same day (and I'd check your spelling too).
    Unfortunately, CULV CPUs like the ones in the Acer Aspire Timeline series are soldered onto the motherboard and can't be upgraded.
    Regular CPUs are socketed and can be replaced.

    I assume you're trying to improve gaming performance? There are other upgrades you can do (RAM, SSD) that will improve overall performance, but gaming will always suck.

    First download CPUz and check what CPU you have.

    If it's something like an SU3500 then it is not possible to upgrade the CPU.
    Unless you have a BGA reworking station to unsolder the CPU and resolder a new one.

    Only the RAM and hard drive, Scorpians. Time to see if you can sell it and get something that meets your needs.
