Can I upgrade from i5-6300HQ to i7-6700HQ on an Acer Aspire VN7-592G laptop?

So I'm thinking to buy the laptop mentioned in the title, but to make it cheaper I just wanna start with the one that's got an i5-6300HQ and 8gb of ram, but in the future I might want to upgrade it to an i7-6700HQ and 16gb of ram. I could buy the more expensive one with an i7, but right now I just want to save some money, and I'm wondering if this is possible. Help would be appreciated!

No, you can't upgrade CPU on that laptop. Socket FCBGA1440 is soldered to the motherboard.

I think the CPUs are soldered onto the motherboard and aren't in a socket like on desktop systems, therefore you can't take one out and put another one in to upgrade them.

I see.. Thanks for quick answers! I guess I'll play it safe and buy the one with an i7-6700HQ.
