Again:
CPUs are soldered to the motherboard so not socketed or removeable and upgradeable.
You know this by looking at the list of replacement mainboards in the Manual. If the description of the boards includes reference to a processor and there are no replacement part processors, you know the processor is soldered to the board, as it is in this case. I also think your i7-4500U is the best processor offered on that series so you will not even find an upgrade motherboard with any faster processor.
If you perceive your laptop is too slow, about all you can do is try an SSD. It will not help gaming but does generally speed the machine up a lot. 16 gigs of RAM will also help some but for most people upgrading from 8 to 16 does not change much.
Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

You just need the Service Manual for the laptop series yours belongs to:
On consumer laptops, the motherboard is integral to the laptop itself: it is a unique proprietary product and there is no separate information on the motherboard as you might find with an enthusiast desktop computer. All your upgrade options are covered in the Service Manual. CPUs are soldered to the motherboard so not socketed or removeable and upgradeable. Max memory is going to be 2 x 8 = 16 gig DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMM and you have a 2.5 inch SATA bay for hard drive or SATA SSD and there is an mSATA slot for an mSSD but its function is restricted to use as an acceleration cache for the main hard drive.
