I recently picked up the following laptop real cheap (works well for what I need)

Now, i would really like to play elder scrolls iv on this (at least to a good standard). Could this be possible If I upgraded? I was thinking the video card, however it is integrated and so this may be difficult/impossible to replace? Any hope?

as a general rule, upgrading laptop gpu's is impossible or very difficult. and if you could, it would be expensive and not worth your while.

There's not really a lot of hope, to be honest. TES4 is both CPU- and GPU-heavy. Both of those are things you usually can't upgrade.

You might be able to run minimum settings or Oldblivion, but don't expect to reach a "good standard." Sorry bro.
