Hi:

 

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

I don't know much about computers, so i thought it could be upgraded. Thanks for helping.

You're very welcome.

 

On these newer model computers made in the last 10 years or so, the processors and graphics adapters are all integral parts of the motherboard.

 

That is why it is important to buy a notebook that makes you happy because usually the only upgrades you can do would be memory and a larger capacity storage drive.

 

Only the couple of thousand-dollar mobile workstations have removable graphics cards and they cost hundreds of dollars just for the graphics card alone.

 

The processors in those models cannot be upgraded either.
