Hi:

 

Unfortunately, that would not be possible.

 

The GPU is an integral part of the motherboard and cannot be upgraded unless you replace the motherboard with one listed in your notebook's service manual that may come with better graphics.

Since your notebook is relatively new, the cost of an upgraded motherboard, if you could even find the part for sale, would cost about as much as you paid for your notebook.
