If the maker has stopped maintaining the platform and doesn't release BIOS updates, altering the BIOS might require microcode or specialized skills. Otherwise, it could be challenging unless you have deep expertise in BIOS development.

Consider the situation carefully. Examples like 9900K salaries on Z170 boards are interesting, but we must gather more details before offering any advice.

It's actually an i3 6th generation CPU. The socket matches FCBGA1356, similar to the 8th generation mobile chipset. I was curious if it's feasible to replace it. If updating the BIOS feels complicated, swapping it for an i7 6th generation would be a solid upgrade, as I’m confident it will work well.

They were originally soldered, but you can use an adapter to connect them to a standard motherboard.

Sure, it's soldered. I'm more into hardware than software. I think I'll replace my i3-6006u with an i7-6560u because I'm confident it will work.

It's rare to find someone who isn't surprised by a soldered-on CPU. Check the motherboard model using hwinfo and see if it supports the CPU. If not, you'll likely need a custom BIOS, which requires someone skilled in microcode modifications—hard to locate.

Bios is also available for 310-15ISK: https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/gb/en/produ...IOS%2FUEFI and 310-15ISK was also compatible with an i7-6560u: https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF...h_Spec.PDF so it should function properly.
