Hello
these two CPUs are not from the same generation
so the chances that the I7-8700 is compatible are low
maybe by updating the BIOS
but not at all sure
the best option is to put an I7-7700, from the same generation

Unlikely that it will be possible on a Dell...

Hello,

there's no reason why we can't put in an i7-7700
however, an i7-8700 is impossible.

Well, because it's a micro PC, it is a 7500T model and not a regular 7500.
So it's a very low power CPU (35W)
The stock cooler of an i7 7700 wouldn't even fit physically, as for the power supply, it would be overwhelmed.

Ah yes, I forgot, his PC should look more like this based on the indications:
