Because I already have i5 and would like to upgrade. I can opt for i5 as well if I get any good model.

There is no i6 or i8, just so you know. The number iX is only an indication btw i3 to i7 ULV in the past all had 2 cores rolleyes

Thank you for clarification.
You seem to be a learned person.
Can you please answer my question on which one should I select.
PS: Obviously I have less knowledge than you. Hence, made this post. Now, you typing in bold is making me feel even more inferior.

You have to ask yourself this -

Are you going to use the laptop for work, heavy games/applications or just regular stuff like browsing or watching videos? If you are getting this for battery life then i3 or R3 are the best choices, i5 or R5 is good for more CPU heavy tasks but battery life will suffer.

No gaming at all. Would use it for browsing and not much heavy task at all.
It needs to be light weight with good battery life.

Do you mean I can opt for i3 8th gen over my current i5 2nd gen and would get better performance?

It isn’t just about generation, what is the model number for that one? Regular 25-45W (old) processors are nearly as good as the cheap ULV variants of today.

Ultra low voltage, 15w or below. Your model is real old, I guess it’s a really good price for exchange if the laptop is in good condition. Remember for product exchange they can deny the request even if there’s a small dent, scratch or crack. Though usually laptops don’t get as much wear & tear as phones, but with flipkart you never know for sure. Check these models, IMO great VFM -

They will send me new laptop first and then send someone to pick up my old laptop? At that time if the person denies to pick up my laptop then can I return the new laptop as I am buying this new laptop only for the reason of exchange value.

Same time, they will check the laptop if it’s acceptable then they’ll take it. I’m not sure what happens if they reject exchange, you need to call FK & check if they’ll deliver the product?

This is 2 core only, the models I listed are 2 & 4 cores, both cheaper than the HP one. Intel laptops are also more expensive than AMD, with marginally faster CPU & much worse GPU.

What’s GPU? I want Intel one rather than AMD.

That’s what I am asking how it works and yes it’s a genuine license. I paid for Windows 7 and when they gave Windows 10 for free to every Windows 7 user then I upgraded my laptop to Windows 10.

If it’s a retail license you may be able to activate it on the new machine, you should contact MS on the exact steps as the license key would be for win7 – try their toll free number.

Isn’t it self-explanatory? Do you think an extra 1TB of spinning rust and a measly Radeon 530 justifies an extra 16k? At best it would be worth 5k. Plus you have mentioned that you won’t game? The Intel iGPU is good enough for casual/older games. Most importantly the AMD GPU will castrate your battery life. Go for the model listed on FK. Do enquire about extended warranty options if you care.
P.S. I am not 100% sure if its the same model or not but make sure it doesn’t have a sub-par display unless of course if you don’t mind it.
