2011 17” MacBook Pro logic board upgrade

I have a 17” 2011 MacBook Pro with High Sierra and was wondering if an aftermarket logic board is available that support metal ? 


Although my laptop runs like a Ferrari I’m looking to upgrade not only to enhance performance but more importantly so ALL of my devices are synced for years to come.


With Apple rolling out new OS the programs, High Sierra cannot be updated and hence do not sync with my other Apple devices. 

MacBook Pro 17″, macOS 10.13

Apple has never supplied aftermarket mainboard replacements. Nor have any aftermarket vendors.


If you want a Mac with closer-to-today's capabilities, you would need a slightly more modern Mac. Any MacBook Pro from late 2013 onward will be supported through the next version of software to be released in the fall.
