Cpu can often be upgraded but you'll be limited by the cooling capacity and potentially power draw.

RAM can usually be upgraded unless its an ultrabook since they mostly use soldered RAM. 

Hard drives most of the time yes. 

GPU almost never, they're almost always part of the motherboard.

Screens sometimes can be upgraded but a little more difficult with compatability.

Welcome to the forum.

 

to see if your laptop has any upgrade paths you should use google, try;

 

'model number' upgrade

 

'model number' ram upgrade

 

'model number' cpu upgrade

 

'model number' processor upgrade

 

etc,

 

If after searching around you have not found anything your laptop is likely not upgradable. or if your struggling with something come back with your model number and i'm sure i or someone else on here can help you out.
