I would update the bios microcode and buy a 4 core 8 thread and YOLO. 

You mean edit the bios myself ? I would love to buy the best 4 core 8 thread i7 but i don't think it will work.

If you can suggest what to do that would help a lot

I am confused did i ever showed you an older processor ?

but you did show me an newer one. Dont want to risk that if the BIOS can be programmed before the new CPUs were launched

So since the laptop is from 2015, what you are saying is to find CPUs of the same era right ?

same era as the CPU already in there, so 2012 Q2

I don't think the laptop has UEFI its too old

try it. UEFI is generally sandy bridge or newer and it looks like the microcode extractor is working fine.

Just tried it and it says INTEL IMAGE:

On the website it says you can not use it with an intel bios:

 

Notes:

  • This tool cannot be used, if you want to
    • modify any other BIOS type (Award/Phoenix, non-UEFI AMI or Intel mainboard BIOSes) or
    • insert a BIOS module, which is not present within the source BIOS file or
    • remove a BIOS module.
  • Special problem with Intel's iGPU VGA ROM modules (=VBIOS):

So i guess i can not use that tool. The bios is a series of .FL1 files

Managed to access the bios. Quick boot was somehow forced and could not access the bios settings. I removed the bios battery and now i can enter the bios. Here is a screenshot:
