Hi:

 

Unfortunately, that would not be possible.

 

The GPU is an integral part of the motherboard, and the only way to upgrade the graphics, would be to replace the motherboard with one listed in chapter 6 of your notebook's service manual that may come with better graphics.

You would also need to buy a different heat sink for the motherboards that come with discrete graphics adapters.

 

Assuming you could even find the parts you need, it would be cheaper to sell or trade in your notebook and buy a new Elitebook with better graphics.
