Just curious if I can upgrade the Dell 5559 in particular from an i5 6200u to an i7 6500u? I know some laptops you can upgrade the CPU but I'm not too sure if mine is easily swappable, I just know the higher end version offered has the i7 6500u processor while i got the i5 version. So far upgraded to 850 Evo SSD and 16GB of ram so the only things I might possibly have left is if the CPU is possible and maybe an external GPU. Not really trying to make a gaming pc, just like to tinker with stuff and make it better than when I got it. Thanks if you can help out, trying to learn more. Eventually I want to build a desktop pc from scratch, so far only know how to upgrade internals for laptops.
