Yes, you can upgrade the processor in a Dell OptiPlex 9020. You can install a newer CPU, such as a recent Ryzen model, depending on compatibility with the motherboard.

It seems the Optiplex systems likely have unique motherboards, making standard ATX boards incompatible for running a Ryzen processor. You might be able to replace it with a more recent Intel CPU based on the available chipset and socket.

That's not correct. An i7 4770 is a motherboard chipset, not a CPU. The best CPU for it would depend on the specific model and requirements.

They function mostly as they are, making it tough to swap enough parts to support newer models like Ryzen. For Ryzen enthusiasts, skipping Optiplex is the better choice and starting fresh makes sense. I own a few with a 4790 chip; it should work with a 4790k too. Both chips remain priced higher than expected, so adding them separately isn't worth it.
