The specs of your machine is
https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c04851694
It only has Intel® HD Graphics 520 which is Integrated graphics, that all. But the manual of the series says it can have ONE of the following Switchable discrete graphics:
- NVIDIA N16S-GT (GeForce 940M) with up to 2048 MB or 4096 MB of dedicated video memory (256Mx16 DDR3 900MHz x 4 PCs, 1GHz bridge to 900MHz) (i5/i7 processors)
- AMD R7 M360 (Meso-XT) with up to 2048 MB of dedicated video memory (256Mx16 DDR3 900MHz x 4 PCs, 1GHz bridge to 900MHz) (i5/i7 processors
Pages 62 of the manual lists part system boards for the series.
Note: You have to pay for new system board which has
(a) Motherboard,
(b) CPU / Processor
(c) new GPU,
(d) New Windows license (you can't reuse old license)
Because all 4 of above components are on one piece of hardware called system board.
