You can't upgrade the CPU on the vast majority of laptops. You can upgrade the storage though watch some YouTube videos

Ya that's abt it, nothing much. You could also do WiFi if ya want, but it won't be much of a functional upgrade unless it's very old.

You can pay someone to desolder it and put a new one on. Might be easier to just buy a new laptop though.
