Supports i7 6700. They don't list 6700K and futhermore 7700k. Lack of bios support and overclockability probably because lack of cooling potential and because it's oem, they don't usually have meaningful upgrade path for their systems.

i7 6700 will be good upgrade though if your current cpu is an i3 or Pentium.

i7 6700 will be bought second hand most likely so make sure it comes with default cooler because your current i3/Pentium? cooler won't be sufficient. You'll also need new thermal paste and isopropyl to clean old paste off.
