Solution
Most laptops have processors and/or graphics chips that are soldered to the motherboard. There arent really any low end laptops that have this, yours is no exception.
Trying to make a laptop into a gaming laptop is about as straight forward as turning your compact car into a full size 1 ton truck....its just not going to happen.
As Gam3r said most parts are soldered into the board and on the very off chance that they are socketed (so removable) then you are still highly limited to only the CPUS/GPUS already offered by the OEM for that product. Bototm line laptops have very few standardized parts so at best you can upgrade the memory, hard drive and wifi chip and that is pretty much it.
