Can I upgrade the GPU on an HP 24-df0015nw.?

Hi. I have no idea if I can upgrade either the processor or gpu on this machine so I can get better gameplay. Can anyone advise me, and if I can what to get?

Hi,

Your AIO PC has integrated AMD graphics. I don't see a valid upgrade path for this component.

You have the best CPU (Ryzen 3 3250U) offered by HP for this motherboard.

AIO component upgrade options to improve gaming are very limited.

You can upgrade memory but you have CPU and graphics bottlenecks, so doing this is probably not cost effective and will not improve your gaming experience. But you do have an NVME M.2 storage drive. This is the best component to have for game load times.

There is absolutely nothing you cannot do with this computer.
If you want to play games with better performance, or with good graphics settings, in good conditions
your only option and to buy a better computer

Weird. According to HP Support, they say an NVIDIA Geforce GTX1050 Mobile 4gb is compatible. I asked them twice, saying Are you sure? And they said yes. Ordered one so as to take a look when I add more RAM. If no good, guess I can return it.

so they probably have information that we don't have, not
but still, if we look in the list here, we should have examples
Either I missed it, it's possible, or we have models without graphics cards, while we can have one, but nothing specified, there is no indication of available port here

Thanks. Looks like a grey area that could really use a better system. I'll let you know if it's a yes once I open it up to do the RAM. Chances are that will be in a few weeks when the card arrives.

Hello again. So. Update. HP have given me two conflicting pieces of information after I queried it a third time. I had just read that my current setup of Ryzen 3 3250u processor has its current Radeon Vega 3 graphics embedded in that CPU. This new card they said was a compatible upgrade has arrived. But now I think it isn't possible to upgrade AT ALL. Am I missing something? Perhaps there is a spare slot inside this new card will go into, and once in, it perhaps renders the embedded graphics card defunct?

Thanks in advance.

Confirmed it definitely can't be done. I tried removing the back myself, but had trouble sliding the base out. Not as easy as it looks in videos. So, I had a guy do the RAM and take a photo of the inside so I could see for myself. There is nothing there to slot any mobile graphics card into. Adding a second 8gb was very much worth it though. Gave me better frame rate and I can now play some games I couldn't before. Far Cry 3 runs like a dresn, and now Far Cry 4 does too after Radeon's software update.

So... To confirm, an HP df0015nw All in One bought 2021 in Poland cannot have graphics upgraded but does well with 16gb of RAM.
