You cannot upgrade the CPU without replacing the entire system board, but before doing that compare the cost of a newer system, perhaps with an 8th gen or better CPU that is supported by Windows 11. It may not be much or any more expensive than a (used) replacement mainboard.

@Siireal
grab a SSD (M.2 NVMe). Your E5270 will get very fast!
