This isn't the same as with a desktop PC. You would have to change the notebook's system board, install compatible memory, install compatible processor and cooling solution for the discrete graphics and processor. You will also have to procure a new license activation key for the installed operating system. The OS installed for your current notebook is not transferable to a different system board.

 

In my opinion, this isn't really a viable project.

 

The system board is 204 Euros in Europe from Amazon.it

 

 

It will cost more than sourcing a different notebook with every feature that you need.
