I checked the compatibility of your Intel Core i5-7400 Boxed with the Intel Core i7-9700K Boxed. Both models share the same socket, so an upgrade should be feasible. You can find more details on the comparison page provided.

Don't assume that.

Yes, you can ask for an explanation.

It appears the same port is used, but you require a Z300 series board for the 9700.

You require a different chipset for the 9th generation, so consider upgrading your motherboard.

The chipset isn't the main issue. There are modifications available to enable older CPUs on newer systems. The incompatibility stems from differing pin configurations, even though the socket type and number remain consistent.

They focused on 6th and 7th generation chips to develop 300 series boards, suggesting the chipset was the main factor.

It's not the chipset that restricts compatibility; it's the socket pin configurations. These change how pins perform different functions across boards from 100 and 200 series to the 300 series.

What upgrades are available and can you provide a categorized list?
