If you want anything resembling a useful answer, you need to supply at least the model number and current CPU, RAM and storage type (i.e., Inspiron 3501, 5593, etc., i3, Ryzen 3, etc. and SSD or hard drive.
If the laptop was made within the last 12 years, upgrading the CPU to something better is out as it is soldered on the motherboard. Assuming that a motherboard with a better CPU for your model is available, the only way to "upgrade" would be to replace the entire board.
As ejn63 mentioned, we need the model and the current configuration of your laptop so that others know how to assist you.
You could find the exact Dell model number for your computer listed in System Information. You could also find operating system and Install Physical Memory within computer. Just press windows logo key and R key at the same time. Type msinfo32 into command box, select okay. In System Information, stroll down to System Model.
For example: My Dell computer. Dell 16 16250, windows 11, installed memory 16G
