Hi:

 

The GPU is not a removable component.

 

In order to upgrade the graphics, you would have to replace the motherboard with one that is listed in the service manual that may come with better graphics.

 

A better motherboard on a new PC like yours, if you could even find the part, would cost more than buying a new notebook with the better graphics already included.

No you can't. Actually you CAN'T upgrade GPU on nearly all normal notebooks. You have to replace the whole system board with new GPU (if available)  and you have to pay for new system board which has


(a) Motherboard,

(b) CPU / Processor

(c) new GPU if available

(d) New Windows license (you can't reuse old license)


Because all 4 above components are on one piece of hardware called system board.

 

Regards,

BH
