No. BGA means it's not a socket; the chip is soldered onto your motherboard. Unless you've got a $2k+ SMD rework station, it's not possible to resolder it.

if you have the original adapter, that can deliver up to 65W. The I7 you want to put in needs 28W while your current CPU needs 15W. But like he stated above. The CPU is soldered into the motherboard so unless you have equipment to change the CPUs I would not bother.

It might be, but some very deep research is needed and I'm not entirely sure it's worth it. I somehow doubt you will find a brand new motherboard and getting a used one is not the best idea either.

Possibly, but it would likely be cheaper to just get a new laptop. The motherboard would have to be from the same model of laptop, and you'd be paying for a new motherboard, windows license, CPU, and maybe RAM too - all those are part of the motherboard. And that's assuming that it uses the same heatsink and fan and case.
