All laptops have built in graphics that are part of the motherboard chipset. Upgrading graphics cards is only for desktops.Hard drives and RAM can be upgraded. Adapters for ethernet and wireless depend on the type of adapter slot built into your laptop.

 

If you want to upgrade your video then you will have to purchase another laptop with the video capabilities that you wish it to have.

 

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that is how laptop are constructed.
