I have a HP Pavilion 23 All-In-One Desktop PC, and I want to change the graphics card to something better in the future. I would like to know if its possible and if it is, how should I go about it ?

I know that All-In-One PCs generally can't be customized, but my pc is listed in the HP website under "all customizable pcs", and when I bought it a few months back it came with both integrated graphics and a GT 710, so I'm guessing the GT 710 can be replaced ?

I've never customized a pc before, so I'm kinda hoping for a step-by-step method for replacing one.

This link is the closest to my pc, but my processor is an i5-4570T, and as I said it came with both the Intel HD Graphics and a GT 710 :

Have you tried opening the back cover and taking a look? I can't imagine you being able to put in anything stronger than a 750 Ti due to the possibly weak PSU that also would probably would be a pain to replace and is an expensive OEM replacement part and probably impossible to upgrade.

Anyways if your GPU isn't soldered onto your motherboard then it's probably on some sort of riser card but that's a bit uncommon. Usually they would solder it on the motherboard to save costs. It sounds unlikely that you could but you can always try.

If you do pop it open it would be helpful if you could take a picture or two of it for me.
