Product: HP Pavilion 550-A14Ld Desktop
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

Does the HP Pavilion 550-A14Ld Desktop have a replaceable graphics card? I keep on hearing it has an integrated graphics card, but the item I am shopping for is this model, and it has 4GB of dedicated graphics memory with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics and an AMD A8-6410 processor, 8GB Memory, and a 1TB HDD with Windows 8.1. So, is this model with the specifications I listed able to have its graphics card replaced?

The answer is NO,   because the HP 550-A14Ld does not have  a PCIEx16 graphic slot. The actual GPU is imbedded into the CPU chip. The design concept is a like a laptop board in a desktop case. The actual PSU (power supply) is really a 65W brick, very similiar to a laptop PSU. Glad you asked !!!!
