you can change the graphics card to one that will function for games.

be expensive as the hardware for laptops isn't as low cost as desktops.

Many laptops use integrated graphics adapters.

These use system RAM for video RAM.

It may be as simple as adding more system RAM, and entering BIOS setup and allocating more system RAM for video.

Aside from that, your only real option is a new laptop.

The video system on nearly all laptops is a dedicated board or part of the system board.

If you have one of the rare few that use a separate video board, you "might" be able to get a graphics upgrade at a factory service depot.
