How to easily install an MXM GPU in a Laptop

In this video I show you how to disassemble the HP Elitebook 8770W to upgrade its GPU by using its MXM slot.


I do sincerely apologize on how long this took me to make. I was over stressing the quality and information in the video. I was initially going to make an all inclusive guide on how to upgrade everything in a laptop but I saw that other, larger creators made a way better video than mine. I took a few steps back and made this video, just about GPUs. I am going to make more quick guides about laptop hardware in the future so stay tuned for that.
