Aurora R7, upgrade from i5 to i7?

Hello,

I am currently in the process of determining whether I need a new computer. Ideally, I would like to upgrade parts and continue using this one as I have loved this 2018 Aurora R7 for its life span and don't particularly want to part with it.

I just ran a diagnostic test on it and the Hard Drive failed, so I know I need to replace that part (unfortunate!). However, to run newer games, I need an i7 CPU as opposed to the current i5. Looking at compatible parts, I am not seeing any processors listed whatsoever. Am I missing something? I would have expected to at least see an i5 processor on the list, but all I see are heat sink replacements. Am I out of luck here? Do I need a new computer to update to i7+?

I am running an Aurora R7 with original parts. Happy to provide any other information that is helpful.

Any information is helpful here.

Thanks!
