I have an Lenovo G510 laptop (type 80A8) with Intel HD Integrated Graphics 4600 and Intel Core i5 processor. Do you know if its possible to upgrade the graphics card? If so, how and with what graphics card?

Only a few $1100+ gaming or workstation laptops have mxm. The laptop also does not have other models with a soldered dgpu so there is nothing you can do.

It's not about space when same size laptops have a dgpu. The issue is the proprietary nature of laptop form factors. You don't find mobos or heatsinks that fit different models. Mxm is standardized but that's rare to find on laptops anyways.
Do you mean upgrade? No you cannot. That's the problem with laptops, there's not enough space. Since there isn't a dedicated GPU in that laptop, I highly doubt there's a slot on the motherboard for one. And I don't believe manufacturers sell laptop gpus anyway.
