Hi,

 

It's unlikely as most notebook GPUs ( whether integrated or discrete ) are integrated into the Motherboard.

 

To be certain, post back with the full Model No. and Product No. of the notebook ( from the service tag underneath your notebook ) - see Here for a further explanation.

 

Regards,

Hi,

 

You're welcome :smileyhappy:

 

Although there are no specifications available for your notebook as it's a CTO, the only graphics driver available in the downloads section is for Intel - this GPU is integrated into the Motherboard and so is not an upgradeable component.
