How easy is it to put a video card in my laptop?

Question

Ive got an hp pavilion dv4 with an i5 2.53 ghz dual core processor, 4 gigs of ram, and a 250gb 7200 rpm harddrive. i figured i wasnt really going to do much gaming on my laptop so i didnt get a video card. i decided that integrated graphics would be good enough but now ive changed my mind lol. how would i go about putting the card in and what would i have to do settings or drivers wise to get it swapped from integrated to the actual card? and does anyone have suggestions as to what card i should get? i saw my friend playing borderlands and it looked tight, and i also want to get this game called fallen earth (it recommended a 1gb but give me yalls feedback). i think im going to start transitioning to computer gaming instead of xbox

Unfortunately you don't.. laptop video is part of the motherboard itself and can't be changed. HP may have another motherboard you can use but that's going to cost almost as much as replacing the whole laptop, if they have one at all.

Its easy you just go buy a new laptop with the card you want in it!!!  You can't add it to your existing one.
