Hello! I have recently acquired a Surface Pro Series 5 from a family member. The surface's specs are something I would like to upgrade. Is there a place and/or way to replace/upgrade a part of the surface for better functionality? Thank you.
Specs:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7300U CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.71 GHz
RAM: 8 GB
CPU: Intel(R) HD Graphics 620
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Unfortunately, nothing inside the SP2017/5th generation is upgradeable. When internal parts break, Microsoft does not repair them, they replace with refurbs. This is because opening these devices usually damages them and parts are soldered to the motherboards, etc. and removing the screen to get at the internals can damaged the touch screen. Sorry for the bad news.
That is unfortunate to hear. Thank you for your reply
