Making demands of volunteers gets you nowhere. I am not going to go away and research gaming on an integrated GPU for you. I have explained the limits of your current system and its non-upgradability. I have said your options for gaming are limited and that gaming is not my area of expertise. I've given you what pointers I can - it's up to you to use them.

The processor is soldered to the motherboard and not removeable or upgradeable. In your case you cannot even move up by replacing the motherboard as the i7-6600U was the top offering on that model so there is no better motherboard that has been made.

I did not say that in fact I said even by changing the motherboard you cannot have any faster processor. The i7-6600U is the top of the line for that model series and the motherboard is a unique piece of hardware made for that laptop and no other so there is no other hardware you can buy. You already have the best there is. To have a faster processor means a different laptop.
Its a pretty capable processor. What problem are you trying to solve by upgrading it? Perhaps a memory upgrade or a solid state drive would get you where you need to be.

Thats what I thought you might be doing. The 840 G3 only supports the Intel HD 520 video and that chip is also soldered onto the motherboard. So even if you could upgrade the processor it would not affect the video enough to be even noticeable. The laptop is not a gaming machine or even an engineering workstation for CAD and such and there is no way to make it into one.

I don't know what you need to do but there is just really no way to make the video better or faster with software. You can update the driver but that just makes little technical changes and will not make the framerate any faster on games.

Buy a different computer and perhaps sell the one you have then. There is no dedicated GPU available in this series and it is rarely economic to change the system board. Driver changes might tweak things very slightly, but will not increase the underlying power of the GPU.
The Core i7-6600U was a good processor for its day; it powered what was my main system for most of the past two years. It is only two generations behind what is current today and is still an excellent workhorse. The problem is that you simply cannot make a modest integrated GPU perform like a powerful dedicated GPU.
