Dear Customer,

Welcome and Thank you for posting your query on HP Support Forum.

 

As per the issue posted I understand that you want to know if you can add a Graphics card on your HP Envy 15t-k000.

 

Unfortunately this unit has only on board graphics as you mentioned by you "Intel hd 4600 graphics". 

 

There is no add on card facility or slot provided for this model on the motherboard to upgrade your graphics card.

 

However you can update your graphics driver and other drivers for your unit from this Link in future.

 

Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again

Dear Customer,

 

Welcome again and thank you for posting your query on HP Support Forum.

 

I wish I could help you for an external Graphics card, but there isn't such facility for a Laptop.

 

If it was a Desktop then YES, I would have recommeded; unfortunately you have to cope with the onboard graphics which came with the unit.

 

Even if there is something in the market for an external graphics card, it won't function as it suppose to do and it might clash the on board graphics also. 

 

There is something called "Switchable Graphics" like in desktop; where you can use Graphics card and on board graphics by enabling in BIOS level, unfortunately this option is available only in Workstation series laptops.

 

Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again

Thank You,
