Is is possible for me to upgrade my laptop GPU? (HP Pavilion 15-p209ax)

[01swodniW]

Could someone tell me if I can upgrade my GPU on my laptop? It is a HP Pavilion 15-p209ax. I am aware that not a lot of laptop GPUs are upgradable.

CPU: AMD A6-6310 APU with Radeon R4 Graphics
GPU: AMD Radeon R7 M260

Tell me if you need any other specifications, I'm not sure what I need to say.

If not, I am also interested in EGPUs, would it be possible to get one of those?

Thanks.

Generally, you can't upgrade a laptops CPU or GPU. Typically they are soldered to the motherboard. For the external GPU's, the only one's I've read about use a Thunderbolt cable. Does your laptop have a thunderbolt port?

No, however I have heard of EGPUs being connected to a PCI-E slot or something. Do you know if this particular gpu is soldered? Is there a way I can tell without opening up my laptop?
