Your current CPU is BGA which means it's soldered to the motherboard and not upgradable.

Is there just no way on how to do it? Even tho its BGA, like alternative way? Such kind for GPU as External GPU such thing like that?

BGA is possible to replace but requires training, experience, and specialized equipment and would likely cost you as much as a new laptop.

Imho your best option is to buy a laptop that meets your needs and sell your current one.

I guess that's good enough for me to know about, at least i know that its possible for me to modify it rather than selling it... I don't feel right to, thanks for the help! Anyway, is it possible that AMD change to Intel? And is it possible to change the GPU?

The short answer is no on both. Laptops have limited upgrade options, for the most part the only things you can upgrade are the ram and the storage.

Did you mean the easy thing to-be-upgrade-only situation or extremely-hard-but-possible-for-upgrade situation?

switching to Intel and upgrading the gpu are not possible on that laptop.
