Welcome to the forums!

 

Laptop CPU's are usually soldered to the motherboard, without knowing which laptop model you have it's going to be hard to know.

But the general answer would be; No, you can't.

Besides that his username is kinda weird -.-

THere are external GPU's that you can get, google a bit!

Try to stick to a single reply instead of adding 2 different ones to the same answer.

local used site. Search for 'laptop' then set price filter so expensive ones get filtered out.

 

external GPU enclosures vary in prices. More complete ones (casing, PSU and connector) can cost more than $300 each while the more basic (just the adapter, still need PSU and some way to hold it upright) sets go for about $50 (or more)

Basically ebay! And if you want external GPU's.. It's basically buying a desktop GPU but connecting it to a laptop via cable. You might as well just get a desktop PC or a better laptop. It will be on the pricier side.

you have no money for that. just keep eyes open on ebay and local advertising websites for a decent laptop and go for it. you cannot upgrade your laptop, even though I don't know the exact model number, I'm 99.99999% sure that's a potato laptop, thus it cannot be upgraded. good luck with bargain hunting
