i have a samsung np-r540 and it has i3 but i want to upgrade to a better processor without changing my computer, so my question is can i replace i3 with i5 or i7?
 

if thats not possible then the only solution would be buying a new motherboard, but what motherboards are compatible with np-r540 casing?
