If OP is able to use his or her 9400F currently, there is no way an i7 7700K is compatible, since they don't work on the same chipset, regardless of any updates you could think of.Intel i7 7700k has the same chipset as your i5 so yes it could work but whats your specs on the comp!

I have an i5 9400F and i want to upgrade to i7 but I dont know if I need to buy a new motherboard so can I use the i7 without buying a new motherboard.
No, a 7700k is not a compatible upgrade.
