it's not easy, and need professional people to do it.

That is an understatement.
Either the graphics subsystem is part of the CPU. In which case you can probably change the CPU and get maybe slightly better graphics performance.

Or it is a discrete graphics chip, soldered directly to the motherboard. In which case a whole host of other considerations come into play.

It is not a removable 'card' like in a desktop.
This is one of the tradeoffs of buying a laptop.
