Upgrading My All-in-One (Need Help/Advice)

I know that upgrading my AIO might be dumb but I have a few spare parts that may boost performance and wanted to know if it supports it. So is it possible to replace my CPU as it is not soldered on and can I use my 3200MHz ram using my CPU (i5-10400T). Also if its not possible (to upgrade the CPU) then whats the best settings on throttlestop for it. I linked a manual for my pc (copy it into the brower address) and attached a picture of my current settings for throttestop.

Specs:
Intel Core i5-10400T @ 2.00GHz
8 DDR4 2667 MHz (SODDIM)


Edit: I forgot to mention my cooling is very good and usually never goes above 60 C.

The manual you linked to is for an AMD system, but as long as the CPU is socketed, it should be possible to upgrade it.
You need to check which CPUs are supported by the UEFI/BIOS and you most likely need to stick to a 35W T SKU CPU.

You can most likely upgrade to faster RAM, but again, it depends on what the UEFI/BIOS supports and it's possible that faster RAM isn't supported.

I mean, I have upgraded laptops with socketed CPUs, so there's no reason why an AIO shouldn't be upgradable, but there will be limitations in terms of what hardware is supported.
 
Best way to upgrading the AIO is ram and SSD/m.2 mainly but depending on the CPU you could possibly could upgrade it but it trial and error finding a list of them that works along with bios updates or modding it for microcode to allow more cpu to work but it a long away around
 

Assuming Lenovo produced a BIOS update to allow 11th Gen processors. Dell rarely (never?) does this even for socket-supported processors like a 7700 in an Optiplex that shipped with a 6700. I don't know if Lenovo is more forward thinking about this but OP might be limited to the 10700T.

10900T, more likely.
