Can the i5 7300HQ be replaced in a Dell 7577 without changing the motherboard?

I tried looking up for an answer, but I couldn't find any. For the GTX 1060 that I have is a need to change the motherboard, but I do not know regarding the CPU, hence I hope someone may have an answer.


note: I have the dell 7577

I'm not quite sure how you are going to add a 1060 to a laptop without using some sort of external GPU, since the GPU in there is part of the motherboard. But to answer your question no, the 7300HQ is soldered to the motherboard.

It appears that all 7577 models come with a 1060, what do you mean you have to change the motherboard to use a 1060?

As said above, the CPU is soldered to the mobo and cannot be upgraded.
