I have a pre assembled dell cpu. Which have a i3 7100. I want to upgrade it to i5 8100. Can i upgrade? How can i identify my motherboard?
 
Solution
Use CPU-Z, free software, will tell you all you need to know about motherboard.

Edit: Anyway, no motherboard can support both 7100 and 8100, the two generations have no cross-compatible chipsets. You'll need a new motherboard for 8th or 9th gen chip. Welcome to Intel.
