Product: HP Pavilion 15-ab262nr
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
I bought the HP Pavilion 15-ab262nr and wanted to do some gaming on it but a lot of the games are just to gpu intensive and I was wondering if it would be possible to replace with a higher quality gpu so that I can run some better games if anyone could help that would be great

Same question, same answer.

 

Please do not ask it again.

 

 

If you want to know which games you can play on your notebook, use the Can You Run it? website.

Unfortunately, that is not really an option.

 

You should have chosen a gaming notebook.

If you undersand what I said you would realize that it is not a viable option. YOu cannot upgrade the GPU. The current GPU is actually part of the installed Intel CPU.

 

Notebooks are not like desktop PCs.
