Hi guys. I have a couple things to ask, maybe you could answer them for me.

Topic:
I have a Dell Inc. Inspiron 3521 and i want to upgrade the graphics card. Sadly i have found out that my graphics card in my laptop is a Integrated Motherboard with the Graphics card which is a Intel HD Graphics.

Questions:
1.If i bought another Integrated Motherboard for my laptop with a better graphics card would it work?

2.I was planning on buying a PNY - GeForce GT 610 2GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 Graphics Card, Could i Un-install my current Graphics Card and somehow put in the new one? If i can please tell me how.

3.If anyone had this laptop and you upgraded the graphics card what did u buy. And if u didnt upgrade it what did you do to get better Preformance on Video Games.

(I Have 8gb RAM)

GPU upgrade on a laptop? - - not possible my friend. There is no place to install one inside a laptop because it has no expansion slots like a desktop PC has.

PCI & PCI Express GPUs are for desktop computers.

Don't think that will be possible either. Laptops have custom motherboards, and since it isn't a gaming laptop, you won't be able to find a motherboard with a graphics card that will fit in.
By the way, I have the same pc.
