    I am wondering if my M14 is able to be upgraded. I purchased the barebones model with the GT 750 and I am wondering if I can upgrade the graphics card to the other models available in the m14 series. I opened the bottom up and looked around briefly but I am use to the M17x and the M14 is really different.

    I apologize if this has been asked before. I had no luck finding the information.

    Unfortunately not really. You would need to replace the motherboard in order to upgrade the video card, as it is baked on the board in the 14 models.
