  Hi,
  You can upgrade to a i7-8700 and it will work, there's an outside chance a i7-9700 might work but can not confirm as others had problem with i7-9700.
  Please read other threads as well for more information.

  No, AMD and Intel have completely different motherboards.

  Yes, some did have problem but there are 398 users using i7-9700 CPU in this model according to the link in my post, so you have to try it at your own risk.
