That would get you an SSD and another 8 gigs of RAM I think.
You never go back because it is so fast to use...nearly instant on and programs pop open and stuff happens fast. Once you see that you are too impatient for it to be slow again.

Common question and unfortunately the same answer. No, the laptop's graphics processor is soldered on the motherboard. There is no way to remove it and replace with something else. And this is true for perhaps 99% of laptops in existence.
In your case it is a little more complicated because video is done in the processor, but your model also has the processor (called an APU) soldered on. And you have the best motherboard and video and processor combination offered in your model series so you could not even put in a different motherboard. There is no upgrade path, in other words.

With gaming, no not really. For general use like how fast it boots up and opens programs, likely yes.
You already did 12 gigs RAM and I would recommend 16 so you have 2 matched modules and can have "dual channel" (helps video a little bit) and you have a 1 TB 5400 rom hard drive and a solid state drive would make a huge difference in general Windows performance.

I was just changing my answer as you typed that. Yes I would have actually recommended you do 8 gigs rather than 12 just so you have 2 modules the same. But now that you bought an 8 gig module you might as well get another. I don't want to give you unreasonable expectations on what that will do, however. Very small improvement. The SSD is huge, however. Once you have used a computer with an SSD you will never go back.

SSDs are not cheap. You need to get at least a 500 gig and those cost $100-175 depending on how good a sale you catch.
