Hi:

The processor and graphics are integral parts of the motherboard and cannot be upgraded unless you replace the motherboard with one listed in chapter 3 of the service manual that comes with better graphics.

HP 15 Laptop PC (Intel)HP 15g Laptop PCHP 15q Laptop PC Maintenance and Service Guide

If you want a motherboard with better graphics, you will select one of those listed in chapter 3 that indicate 'Discrete graphics.'

You would want a motherboard with a Windows product key, so look at the code for those at the top of chapter 3 page 20.

Since your notebook already has one of those motherboards with discrete graphics, the one with the best processor offered in the model series, and more (4 GB) of graphics memory would be this one:

Intel Core i7-8550U processor and 4 GB of discrete graphics memory    HP part # L10346-601 (the '601' having a W10  product key).

UMA graphics are motherboards with the onboard Intel graphics adapters only.

That's about all I can help you with regarding upgrading the motherboard in your PC.

I have never replaced a notebook PC motherboard, and never would even think of attempting such a project.

I buy what I know I will be happy with for a long time--especially since these newer notebooks are fairly difficult to take apart.

Things can go wrong if you don't know what you are doing, and it would be very expensive to upgrade the motherboard assuming you could even find the parts you need.

Chapters 4, 5, and 6 have the disassembly procedures.

I'd definitely read the manual--especially chapter 6 before contemplating such a project.

Now mind you, I'm writing this from my perspective, not yours.

Maybe changing a notebook motherboard would be no problem for you.
