Hey everybody I got a laptop with Intel Core i5-7200U 2.50GHz 8GB RAM and Intel HD Graphics 620. Does anybody know if I can change the graphics card and upgrade to a better one or not? Same with the processor. Thanks

In almost all cases (there are expensive exceptions), the processor and, if any, graphics chip are soldered to a board that is customized for them and neither can be replaced. That machine doesn't have a graphics card; Intel HD Graphics 620 is onboard on the processor.
So no, you can't update anything. Sorry.

We would need to know what model laptop to determine if it even had an option for a discreet gpu, and to even take a guess if one that does NOT have a discreet gpu can have one added. The other option is, if you have a Thunderbolt connection (which you probably do not) is to add an external GPU (eGPU). If you are not able to do your own work on the laptop, you would probably save money buying a new laptop with a discreet GPU.
