I own an iBUYPOWER system with a 13th Gen Intel Core i5-13600KF, and I'm looking to upgrade to at least an i7-13700KF. However, whenever I attempt to update the driver, I get messages saying there are no new updates or that no new driver could be installed. I'm hoping to get some advice on how to upgrade my CPU, as I want to play HOL2 without my entire PC crashing. Any help would be appreciated!

These processors are entirely separate chips, and you can't just update a driver to get more power. If you want to upgrade to an i7, you'll actually need to buy one and switch it out with your i5.
Just to clarify, updating a driver won't let you upgrade your processor from an i5 to an i7. It's not like downloading RAM! The i5 and i7 are different CPUs on a hardware level, so you'd need to actually buy an i7 and replace your current i5 to make that upgrade happen.
You can't upgrade your CPU by just installing a driver. They're physical components inside your PC, and you'll need to purchase a new i7 chip to upgrade from an i5. It's a common misconception, but it really is just a hardware swap.
