UPGRADABILITY OF THE GRAPHICS CARD

[THANSO]

How can I upgrade my graphics card or my memory of my graphics card, graphic card=AMD Radeon (TM) R5 M430

Hi:

No.

The graphics adapter and graphics memory are integral parts of the motherboard, and the only way to upgrade the graphics would be to replace the motherboard with one listed in your notebook's service manual that may come with better graphics.

Hi, thank you for your swift reply.

Got another question. Is there an extra SSD M2  slot in my laptop, so that I can add a second drive, or do I have to replace the existing SSD with a higher capacity one? My laptops current SSD is this: 15SAMSUNG MZNTY256HDHP-000H1 - 238,47 GB

Thanks in advance

You're very welcome.

You would have to replace the existing SSD with one having a larger storage capacity.

Most likely since your notebook came with a M.2 SSD, the parts to add a 2.5" drive are not there.

It would be a lot easier to get, say a 1 TB M.2 SATA SSD, and use the HP cloud recovery tool to reinstall W10 on it.
