Configuration of 8th gen laptops.

Do I can upgrade that 8th gen i5 processor with i7 8750h?
While they're both BGA1440 (soldered) you can't just unsolder one processor and solder the other one in. Have to check whether or not the processor is compatible with the motherboard/BIOS. Some vendors lock out CPU support for various reasons. Power, heat and probably cost are the big three reasons. Packaging is a concern too.
You'll need a BGA rework station so good luck with that. Even then, you'll need a BIOS flasher/programmer to update the BIOS with the microcode of the processor (especially if it was never offered as a standard configuration). The aggro probably isn't worth it. Especially if your laptop was never designed to take the 8750H in the first place.
