Hey I was wondering if it would be any way possible for me to get an upgrade to my notebook's Graphics card

Here are my specs;

Laptop: HP PAvilion dv7 Notebook PC

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz 2.20GHz

Installed Memory (RAM) 8.00 GB DDR3

Operating system: Windows 7 64Bit Home Premium

Graphics Card: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family (DAC Type: Internal)

If I am missing any needed information than message me and I will update it

Laptops are not upgrade-able in that manner.

Just confirming what RealGeorge has said.

99.99% of all laptops do not allow GPU upgrades. Your computer is not in that .01% that can be upgraded. Sorry.

[RealGeorgeW Valued Expert]

I think .1% is still too high Lol.

[Neihn Trusted Contributor]

I had .01% not .1%

But then again even .01% may still be to high because it has been a long time since I have seen any GPU replaceable laptops for sale. They just are not that common and not that in demand.

The only laptops you will find that have upgradeable GPU's are generally going to be the higher end laptops.  but the laptop forms are designed around a particular build.

the MSI and iBuyPower laptops have upgrade capability, however only if the GPU will fit.  And even then the instructions for doing so from the manufacturer are pretty daunting as there  may be many layers of components to remove before you can ge to it.

Best bet if you want somthing upgradable is to buy a tower or buy a laptop that will be a monster for 3 or 4 years then get a new one.

I have a MSI GP62 7RD Leopard. Can I upgrade the graphics card for this laptop?

Those gtx 1050 laptops are budget machines, no upgrading those. (Msi gp62)
