How do I update my computer's graphics card?
Okay, so I'm at least computer savvy enough to do most basic things... but I'm embarrassed to admit that this is beyond me.
My laptop used to run way more smoothly than it does now. It's getting to be a chore to deal with it now. So if any of you out there happen to have the skill to do this, would you mind taking a moment to explain to me how I should go about updating my graphics card? I would appreciate it greatly!
My Graphics Card: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family

laptops can not have there graphics chipsets upgraded
The only thing that can be upgraded is
OS
Ram
Harddrive
os and new harddrive must be purchased together as old files etc will be lost when new one is put in the machine
hd 750 with ssd memory

back up your files and install this hd inside your laptop by removing the old one youll need to take the old one out of the casing and slip this new one in the laptops chassis then into the laptops hd dock
then upload new os and your done and it will load up faster
This would be a lot easier if you could add me on skype my id is: my-little-pwny
I can explain everything to you

TL;DR: you can't. With very rare exception, you can't change the graphics chip in a laptop. Most are directly soldered to the motherboard.
