Hello,
I have a laptop which I put thru the MS test for upgrading to Win 7 and everything passed except the video. Can this be changed out?
 
Not likely... most laptops have their video integrated into the motherboard... but there are some that have a separate card. The ones that have a separate card aren't necessarily upgradable either... they were designed with a specific card in mind and will only work with that card. It would be helpful to know the specs of your laptop so that we can advise whether or not Win 7 will be ok on your laptop.
