Hi:

 

The processor is an integral part of the motherboard.

 

You could replace the motherboard but you will also need to find and buy the corresponding heat sink that goes with the motherboard you are interested in installing.

 

Those parts are listed in chapter 3 of the 17-an1xx service manual and unfortunately, I would have no idea where you would be able to buy them.

 

Pick a motherboard and the heatsink that would go with the motherboard you want.

 

Make sure you buy a motherboard with the Windows product key in the BIOS those part numbers end in -601.

You can easily upgrade to W11 on your PC as it is for free by watching this video:
