Laptop CPU upgrade?

Hello everyone,

 

Currently I have a laptop with an Intel Core I5-7300HQ but I would really like a processor with 8 cores (so I would need an i7)

Does anyone here know if my laptop, the MSI GL62M 7RD has the ability to upgrade the CPU to for example an i7 7th gen?

 

Have a nice day,

Luuk Bos

I read on https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=303404.0, the CPU is soldered on so you can't upgrade it. 

Specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen R7 3700X @4.4Ghz, GPU: Gigabyte RX 5700 XT, RAM: 32 GB (2x 8GB Trident Z Royal + 2x 8GB TForce Vulkan Z) @3000Mhz, Motherboard: ASRock B550m Steel Legend, Storage: 1x WD Black 1Tb NVMe (boot) + 1x Samsung 860 QVO 1Tb SSD (storage), Case: Thermaltake Core V21, Cooler: Noctua NH-D15
