Taking graphics Card off of One Computer and Putting it on Another

[QwertyHockeyPlyr]

I have two Acer PCs. One is a newer laptop and the other is an older tower. I would like to see if I could take the graphics card off of the laptop, and put it onto the tower to get better performance on FPS on some games. I'm not looking to run like GTA V on 60 fps, I'm just looking for running a game such as Cities: Skylines on 30fps. Can anyone help?

This cannot be done. The connectors are different in a laptop than in a tower, as well as it's a different form factor entirely. There would be no way to mate the expansion plate to the chassis, even if it would connect to the motherboard, which it won't. Not to mention that laptops can have entirely proprietary designs, meaning that the manufacturer decides on their own form factor without making it a standard.

All of these issues combined makes it impossible to simply take a GPU from a laptop and put it in a desktop. It won't connect, it won't fit in the slot in the chassis, and may be an odd shape that prevents it from fitting properly even if it would connect and fit in the expansion slot, which it won't.
