How to upgrade my video card

[ashbs]

I am looking to upgrade my graphics card in my HP ProBook 440 G9 notebook. It currently has an Intel UHD Graphics and I would like to get the Intel Iris XE installed. How would I go about this?

The graphics adapter is an integral part of the motherboard and cannot be upgraded.

So putting more RAM into the laptop would not magically upgrade the video card would it?

The only thing that adding more memory might do would be to add more system memory to support the graphics adapter.

It wouldn't change things much.

The costs to upgrade the motherboard would be the same or more as buying a new notebook with better graphics already included since the notebook is so new.

Below is the link to the service manual.

BTW, chapter 1 of the manual indicates the model series comes with the Intel Iris XE graphics adapter.

If your notebook has the Pentium or Celeron processor, maybe it doesn't?

Why would the details of the card be saying its an Intel UHD Graphics instead of the Intel Iris XE?

That I would not know.
