Greetings everyone, I would like to state that I don't know much about computers.
As of recently I wanted to upgrade my computer by buying a new processor.
I've been looking at the Intel® Core™ i7-9700 Processor and the Intel® Core™ i7-9700F Processor for some time now.
Now correct me if I'm wrong, but some processors only fit on very specific sockets?
So these two would only fit on a FCLGA1151 socket?
When I bought my computer, it came with what seems to be a FCLGA1155 socket.
The computer itself is the Acer Predator G3620, which I bought back in the year 2012-2013.
So my question is, if I were to buy either one of the i7 processors I mentioned above, could those fit in what I have at the moment?
Or do I need a new socket or motherboard or something?
By the way I word these things you can clearly tell I don't know what to do, so I'd like to ask you for your help.
Thanks in advance!
