Upgrading the GPU in a laptop is generally not possible (I'm sure some exceptions exist, but this is not one).
10850k (10c 20t) @ all-core 5GHz @ 1.250v | EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra Gaming | 32GB DDR4 3200 | 1TB M.2 OS/Game SSD | 4TB 7200RPM Game HDD | 10TB 7200 RPM Storage HDD | ViewSonic XG2703-GS - 27" IPS 1440p 165Hz Native G-Sync | HP Reverb G2 VR Headset
In your case definitely not as the "R5 graphics" is actually the processor's on-die graphics. Well... you might be able to find a processor upgrade as that is a socketed chip with 384 SPs in the R5 and the max for that socket is a 512 SP GPU in some of the higher end A10/12s but you're still going to be limited by memory bandwidth as well as a higher power/heat level which your laptop's cooler may not be designed to handle.
tl;dr: no.
Super casual.
Generally speaking, the only things you can upgrade in a laptop are the RAM and the HDD/SSD. That's it. If anything else needs an upgrade, it's time for a new laptop.
