I Have a Dell 17R. Can I upgrade the Ram to 8GB from 2GB and the processor from an i3 to i5 or i7? Thanks in advance

Upgrading the RAM is fine, the processor is a maybe. I'm not familiar with this model so I don't know if the processor is easily removable.

You'd have pick the right i7 processor. I'm too tired to look up which model. A quick google suggested that the i5 might be as quick.
