Hi @Manz241 

You need to specify the laptop model, but the graphics card will probably not be able to be changed, as it is always soldered to the motherboard.

Actually I have integrated Intel graphics. But I wanted to install a graphics card that's why I wanted to know if I have a dedicated graphics card slot in my motherboard or if I have to buy a external gpu.

Also about the SSD and HDD slots

Laptops do not have slots for graphics cards. Only certain older models from the business line do.

Now your upgrades can be:

1) Add more memory and reach 32 GB DDR-3200. (16 x 2)
2) Replace the current NVMe drive with a larger one of 1 TB, 2 TB, or more.

You cannot add another disk

Can't go for 64gb memory?

No HDD slot?

Open PowerShell as an administrator and type the following command to find out how much memory it supports.

Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_PhysicalMemoryArray | Select-Object MaxCapacityEx, MemoryDevices

There are no more slots for disks, HDDs, or SSDs.
