You want to put a desktop gpu in an 8 year old laptop with no thunderbolt port.  That... can’t work. 
 

note: it appears “can’t” is being viewed in the broadest possible way here. “Can’t in an usefully effective way” might be better.

Rule:

 

1. only one do (.) not ( ........)

2. stop begging for help for god sake.

3. stop saying poor and i dont have money shit. it's super annoying just get down to the problem.

 

 

@Bombastinator its possible using chinese wire. some sort of using pcle slot from wifi card i believed. so in the end the wifi card needs to be put outside. but not every laptop capable.

and 1070 is overkill. why not something like 560 or 1050 gosh.

I don’t think m key m.2 was even available on laptops in 2011. B key maybe I guess.

E key is 1 x pcie 3.0.  That’s not much bandwidth for a gpu.

That laptop apparently has a discrete 1050ti so it would need to be faster than that.  I can’t find any motherboard shots so I can’t tell if the discrete card was on a connector or if the gpu was part of the board.  It’s bare outside possible the thing is on a replacable card or that there is a connector on the board that wasn’t populated by a card.  There seems to only be one discrete gpu offered though so my suspicion is no.  

IF there is a connector for a GPU it might be possible.  I’m not seeing any indicator that there ever was one in the literature.

Dude. Sell the laptop and card and get a PC. Also a 1070 is way too much for that little i5

So what it seems to me is that there is a bare tiny chance that IF that particular laptop has a particular kind of adaptor that is no longer documented because the machine is old. AND IF you can get a cable that converts that adaptor from whatever it is (possibly m.2 of some sort) to pcie, and you open up your machine, find this might-not-exist port, put this might-not-exist cable into it, run it outside the machine, and connect it to the 1070, you will have a no longer-a-laptop with not much cpu but a whole lot of gpu compared to what it is.  So “can’t” is arguably wrong.
