Your entire system is over 5 years old now and wasn't even good when it came out because AMD's Ryzen chips that started in 2017 were already miles ahead of A-series APUs, especially mobile APUs.

Speaking of, you can't upgrade your system because it's a laptop, aside from storage and RAM you're stuck with what you have and the APU wouldn't handle a dedicated desktop GPU very well anyway. You're better off starting fresh.

the amd a apus were junk even when new
that one is bga, soldered to the board, not in a socket, it cannot be upgraded
maybe ram but even that isnt worth it for such an old system
its basically an old laptop

Thanks fellas for the feedback i was thinking of just upgrading the ram, since ive read you cant upgrade the graphics card in a all in one it stuck to the motherboard iam guessing i haven't open my pc to find out, but maybe ill just upgrade my pc since upgrading ram wouldn't do me much good!
