In order to do this the entire hardware must be changed. This means a new computer and a new license of Windows. Upgrade not feasible and not recommended.

In order to upgrade you need the following components.
Cpu = intel i5
a new motherboard
a new pair of ram=random access memory
a new graphics processor unit = graphics card
propably a new power supply unit
and propably a new case for all these to fit.

Note: you dont really need a graphics card if u dont plan to game at all.

Don't bother, if you want to upgrade just buy a whole new machine.
