is it a discreet GPU(these kind of laptops are quite rare)? if yes then u can upgrade if integrated (most commonly available) then u cannot change the GPU. integrated means its a chip set soldered to the motherboard. Discreet means its like a "add-on" card
just like a PCI express card.

see the below site u ll get an idea.
