CPU upgrade

[Nola2006]

Hi all 

so not a tech person but i am wanting to upgrade my Lenovo G710 laptop with a new CPU 

now from what i can see i can upgrade to a intel i7 4702MQ CPU. 

but this is no longer made, so any one got an alternative that will work please 

Many thanks 

oh current CPU is i5 4200M Processor if that helps at all

You will need to consult with Lenovo.  Ask them what processors are compatible with their bios.   Then, you may be able to select from those if an upgrade is possible.
