Product: Elitebook 840 G2
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hey, 
Basically I bought an Elitebook 840 G2 and it comes with Intel HD 5500. Which in my case isn't that much good (No offence). Well now my question is, can I upgrade this somehow without using external attachments or something like that? Or, can I upgrade the GPU internally? Will be thankful if answered.
(btw does my laptop by any chance has MXM?)

The two questions you ask are really the same and the answer to both is No. There is no MXM slot; the GPU is soldered to the board and cannot be upgraded. You could theoretically replace the motherboard with one designed for the same model series, but with discrete video. The cost of that is prohibitive. A large percentage of the value of the laptop.
