Sorry your laptop uses a soldered CPU to the main logic board. It’s not upgradable, the only thing you could do is locate a new logic board with the better CPU.

Hi @Waffle Man,
Looking at the spare parts list in the service manual (see p.87-88 Item #3 IdeaPad-I5ISK Touch column) there are no compatible motherboards with an i7 CPU available for the Touch model, only motherboards with an i3 or an i5 CPU.
@jayeff - Good catch!
