Can I upgrade the CPU and if so is it an easy process? null

No, you cannot upgrade the CPU. I'm unaware of any laptop that has an upgradable CPU. They are soldered to the motherboards in laptops. You would have to be quite savvy to pull that off. Even then, the bios likely wouldn't support a different CPU and you'd certainly void your warranty just in the attempt. You can, however, upgrade the RAM with DDR5 sticks to 32GB (2x 16GB) at the maximum speed supported by the CPU and chipset, and you can upgrade the m.2 nvme SSD. Those are both upgrades I would suggest.

The CPU and GPU can not be upgraded. They are directly connected to the motherboard on the laptops and not socketed like on a desktop computer.
