I have an Alienware 17 laptop that I bought in 2014, and the Motherboard is starting to give out on me, I wanted to know what Motherboards would be compatible with my laptop. I understand that it is an old laptop, but if I am replacing the motherboard I would like to get something that would benefit me more in the long run instead of just going back to a stock MB. I also realize that if I do get a newer motherboard I also have to change the processor. I am open to suggestions on different MB and processors. It is running an I7-4710MQ CPU 2.50 GHZ 2501 Mhz 4 core 8 logical processors , FCPGA946-socket. I would also like to know if that is why my laptop is running slow, someone had told me that it is too old of a laptop to be running windows 10 that's why I have many issues with the laptop.
 
Solution
The only motherboard you can replace the current one with is the same motherboard.

Changing motherboards in a laptop is not as easy as it is in a desktop PC.
