There are 3 ways:
1. connect a desktop video card externally, which requires a separate LCD monitor and power supply. Search DIY EGPU.
2. research to see if you have a removable graphics card which plugs in with a slot or socket. Many brands do have laptops with removable graphics, but most of their laptops do not, and if you have Intel graphics notated by GM in the chipset it is not possible. If it is possible, there is a smaller chance that you have more than 3 options are so or can use cards from other brands and that is worth it or any upgrade at all.
Notable brands which more often use widely available standardized graphics cards (on gaming or high end models only) MSI, Alienware, Clevo, Sager, Acer, and business workstation series like Dell Precision and HP Elitebook. No modern laptop below 15" uses removable graphics and very few 14" have in the past.
3. get to know or pay large amounts of money to professionals with infrared BGA reballing equipment, reverse engineering and BIOS modification skills if you have a dedicated card already soldered to the motherboard. Buy a BGA GPU core of the same architecture or one with the same pinout, or find compatible faster vRAM BGAs E. G. gddr5. This has pretty much never been done before and is essentially electrically redesigning the motherboard.
