    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

    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.
