I Need to Upgrade the MSI GE72 2QC GPU (I don't want the "Soldered In" response, I can solder adeptly...)

Don't tell me it's soldered in and impossible.
ALL components can be un-soldered/re-soldered and/or replaced. Someone had to stick the damned thing in there to begin with.
My warranty is up anyway, and I have full coverage insurance.

What I want to know is:
Can the MoBo and the LED Panel handle an upgrade (port/connection wise)?
What is the Maximum-Spec Nvidia GPU that fits where a GTX-960m would sit profile wise?
Thanks in advance if you actually have a real answer.
Don't bother if you don't.
 


That alone tells me that you wouldn't be able to get your head around the "real" answer, so I won't bother.

Good luck on your endeavours.

To add to the above response, you have to be kidding if you think SOMEONE placed that GPU processor there and soldiered it in place.

There are machines that do this, and have for well over 30 years.

Good luck. Since you don't want any responses that don't work, I don't anticipate you will get any more responses.
 
I mean what is your plan even if you do somehow manage to remove the 960m from your motherboard without bricking either? Are you gonna buy a laptop for parts so that you can desolder that too and put that gpu in yours? Surely you don't think that a regular MXM graphics card is gonna fit in your laptop with a proprietary layout that soldered in place. This seems like a supremely stupid undertaking. If you do end up doing this, keep us updated, but we're not responsible for when you end up ruining your laptop.
