Upgrading my Laptop

[Byggmike]

I have a HP pavillion G7 2215dx with the basic 4k integrated graphics card. What would I have to do to upgrade from the integrated graphics card and get a better one for gaming? I know I have to swap the motherboard but i downloaded the programs and they couldnt tell me what its called. I would like to keep the laptop I just want a faster GPU.

You really can't upgrade graphics cards on most laptops. If you were to swap the motherboard it would be expensive, a lot of work, you would have to find an exact match and you might not end up with a significant upgrade. If you want a PC that's upgradable get a desktop. You can add more Ram to a laptop, change the hard drive and sometimes upgrade the cpu but other than that there's not much else you can do.
