Qosmio x505-q8102 gpu

I have a qosmio x505-8102 laptop that was giving to me from my grandma when she passed away. 
I wanted to tinker with it to put it lightly. When I opened it I saw that it had a gtx460m and a odd connector (I want to say it’s an aces connection) 

I wanted to know if I could find a aces connection to a more modern GPU (for the time ie gtx 660m or something with around the same TDP as I don’t want to outdo my power supply). I know I need to just upgrade the laptop and not bother but this is just a fun project and I just wanted to know if there was an adapter to that old 460m connector to the newer connector that the newer gpus had. 
I’ve added picture of the 2 connectors. Hopefully I gave enough info. Thank you!

Thats an mxm connector. However juat because it has it DOES NOT MEAN IT IS UPGRADEABLE!!! Most mxm devices have a whitelist of what cards are allowed to work and this toshiba seems to be no different from what I can find.

 

So basically keep it as is or use another card it came with. Basically 0 chance it will run any new gen except for the 500 setirs since those are rebadges of the 400m series often
