Hi:

 

The graphics adapter is an integral part of the motherboard and cannot be upgraded or replaced.

 

The motherboard would have to be replaced with one listed in your notebook's service manual that may come with better graphics.

 

Since your notebook is relatively new, an upgraded motherboard would cost more than you paid for the notebook, making such an upgrade not worth it.
