Can I upgrade the processor of my Dell Inspiron i3043-1252BLK ? It's an all in one desktop that's just acting really slow.?

Update:

It's got 4 GB RAM right now and a 500 GB hard drive it's also only a few months old. What will I need to upgrade it to in order to increase performance?

    Nope. It s a POS out of the box and was the worst money I ever spent on a computer. My fault as I didn t do my due dilegence prior to purchase as I needed something quick and at the time it looked like it would be suitable as I was looking for something between my old desktop and a laptop. Dell really dropped the ball on this one. I only needed something for browsing and the odd office document. It struggles to even do that. Sound is crap, multiple pages slow it to a crawl and anything more than 2 or 3 programs opened at once make it unusable.

    Hello,

    My name is Ashwin and I work for the Social Media and Community Team at Dell. The upgrade of the processor is not possible as the motherboard is configured for the processor that is already present in the system. However in order to improve performance you can upgrade the RAM and the Hard drive.
