Processor upgradation from i3 10th gen to i5 9th gen in Extensa 215-52.

I have Acer Extensa 215-52 with i3 10th gen. I want to know that is upgradation to i5 possible. I have a doubt that the processor could be soldered to the motherboard.

That model is too new for me to have access to a service guide yet. It's pretty thin so it is likely the processor is soldered in and not replaceable. The sockets cut into the available thickness, both making it thicker and making it more expensive. The Extensa 215-52 looks like a low end machine pricewise with the i3, so everything points to no upgrades to speak of.
