You can adjust it for Coffeelake CPUs, though proceed at your own hazard.

You can upgrade your 7th gen board by installing an 8th gen CPU through a process called modular upgrading. This involves removing the old CPU, installing the new one, and connecting it properly. Follow manufacturer guidelines carefully to ensure compatibility and stability.

It wouldn't be a good idea. Opt for a fresh graphics card instead.

It's achievable with a straightforward BIOS modification. You'll need a BIOS reprogrammer and a tailored BIOS file for your hardware, which you can purchase from Amazon and some specialized sites. Keep in mind the VRMs might not be strong enough for a high-end i7; it's better to opt for an i5 instead. The 8600 is essentially similar to the 8700 without hyperthreading.
