    Note: Laptop versions of these cards may work but are NOT officially supported.


    It would appear your CPU is below minimum and Laptop versions of GPU's may work - however due to differences in performance levels - they can sometimes not be ideal - or can fail to work at all.

    Laptop graphics cards does not give the same performance as a desktop graphic card !!!

    You may make the game work but with some options lowered !

    Use Geforce experience, the game panel let you optimise the options to make it work with your laptop configuration.

    I don't think you can change a laptop graphic card.
