Can you upgrade the processor by changing the motherboard or in any simple way?

im trying to upgrade Intel® Core™ i5+ 8300H (2.3 GHz base frequency, up to 4 GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, 8 MB cache, 4 cores) to anything higher if possible but don't know if modern laptops don't allow to do this.

Trying to run more programs if possible. 🙂

What is your machine ? Normally for new computers you have to replace the whole system board including new Windows license.
