I have an Aspire 5742, and I was looking to use it to stream from until I can save up to get a tower PC. Sadly the graphics card won't support DX11 (it's an Intel HD Graphics card). Is there any way this can be upgraded and how much would this cost? I just need the laptop to work as much as possible until I can replace it. Thank you. :)

    Clean Bytes, posted on Monday 7 September 2020 Hi Kerry, Unfortunately due to laptops having on-board GPUs (graphics cards) this isn't a part you can upgrade the same as you would on a Desktop PC. What is it you are trying to stream exactly? (there may be a workaround).
