You are better off looking for an E-GPU enclosure and a desktop GPU to put in that to connect to your laptop, IF it can be used with such an old laptop.

I had a clevo (sager) laptop which I upgraded from a Gtx 580m to a Gtx 680m. It worked fine, but the only problem is that the laptop gave it a bogus device ID which would cause the NVIDIA driver to error during install. All I had to do was modify the NVIDIA driver to add a Gtx 680m with that bogus id.Laptop firmware have white lists of what cards are compatible, with that you would most likely need to have a good knowledge of how to modify and properly flash the bios of the motherboard so it will properly communicate with the card, without bricking your laptops motherboard bios.

Ok so what is usefulness in your mind? Also start saving up.i got this laptop as a gift 3 years ago and i am trying to expand its usefulness until the end of high school
i have worked with modding software so no biggieI had a clevo (sager) laptop which I upgraded from a Gtx 580m to a Gtx 680m. It worked fine, but the only problem is that the laptop gave it a bogus device ID which would cause the NVIDIA driver to error during install. All I had to do was modify the NVIDIA driver to add a Gtx 680m with that bogus id.
Worked that way for years through multiple driver update procedures.
Just a FYI.

Hence the bios white listing, it all depends if it has a chunky heatsink and chunky fan or a weak thin ass heatsink and fan.MXM Modules are notoriously expensive nowadays, and you can't just put whatever in the system. As noted, it has to be on the whitelist of supported cards. Also, you will need a heatsink that will fit the card, adding the cost.
From the perspective of an old repair technician, HP MXM modules are hard to come by. As someone noted, you have to have a HP vBIOS on the card (good luck finding one) and then also the motherboard BIOS has to have a record of that card and vBIOS for it to work.
Upgrading to unofficial cards is always a risk. Your motherboard and power supply may not be able to deliver the proper power for the graphics card to function properly, resulting in damage to the MXM module and/or the laptop motherboard.
HP, Toshiba, and Lenovo were always very specific in that only their parts would work in their machines. Dell/Clevo/ASUS/MSI were interchangeable varying from model to model.
