Hi,
It is not possible in modern notebooks to upgrade the graphics card as the "card" is integrated on the motherboard.
So, the only way would be to replace the motherboard (along with CPU...) which would most likely cost more than a new PC with desired specs.
Hope it helps,
David

Hi @Andy188
I just want to add that if you are into gaming or so, you can use an external graphics card in a housing such as the HP Omen Accelerator which bypasses your graphics card and lets you install real powerful desktop cards. It uses the Thunderbolt port on the notebook, Something you could look into if maybe you do not usually game on the go.

Take care,
