dinosaur upgrade

hello everyone,

my dad asked my recently if there is a way to speed up his pc. so I went searching for is pc specs to find out how power full it already was. not really power full though. it is based on an intel i7 860. yes indeed, a first gen i7 in 2018. so i sad he can ugrad it with an i7 8700 or an 8700 k. even an i3 8400 is better than this first gen i7. but anyway that is not the point. the point is that he added that he wants to keep his existing os. which is een windows 7 pro sp1. this windows 7 pro is out of date for already an year. you can see that here 

so the question is if it is out dated for an year, can you than upgrade from first gen intel to eight gen intel without any boot problems or reinstall from windows (offcourse  with installing drivers or not if possible) and does it make a differece if it is up to date?
