The spec page for that model is here

It states the graphics are Intel® HD Graphics 520, which means it is intergrated with the Intel CPU.  The present CPU is Intel® Core™ i5-6200U.  That also means that there is no independent graphics card, so no graphics slot and therefore cannot be upgraded.  So that answers questions #1 and #2.

As for reformating to make more partitions - If there is enough room on the existing hard drive, that is an option you can do without reformating, just use Disk Management.  I caution you to make complete backups before doing anything of that nature, unless you can afford to loose the data.

Thx to reply in very short time. As per u, i have not a slot of graphic card but in the laptop specification it shows- Video graphics Intel® HD Graphics 520 (up to 6.07 GB) Sir here what is the meaning of upto 6.07 GB? OR u want my laptop serial no. for finding the full details. Thx

I did notice that comment on the spec page.  The "up to 6.07 GB" I think refers to being able to assign shared memory (RAM) to the graphics card, since the graphics system does not have its own memory.  Here is an article about that for the specific graphics system on the laptop in question.

BTW: increasing the amount of RAM available for the graphics system might solve the problem you are having with a certain software at work, IDK but it might be worth the try to avoid getting a different PC/laptop.
