Hi,

 

It's not really possible to upgrade the graphics adapter in your notebook - although called a 'Card' in reality it is physically soldered to the motherboard in the same way as a chip.  Even if you could find someone with the necessary skills to replace it, you would also have to re-write the bios to allow the new Hardware - HP bioses have a 'whitelist' of allowed hardware and anything not on the list will prevent the notebook booting.

 

Regards,
