Noob here, please help

Okay so im a bit of a noob at computers and all that so this question might sound stupid.

Recently i had bought a cheap second hand laptop just for simple browsing and photo editing, i also have a PC which i use for gaming but the problem is my PC's graphics card is ass. Its an AMD Radeon 5450, the other specs of my pc are good like my i5 intel core and ram but the only problem is this stupid graphics card.

Unfortunately i don't have money to go looking for good graphics cards yet and so just today i found out that the laptop i bought has a pretty decent graphics card. Its the AMD Radeon HD 6550M, which isn't really high-end i know, but i don't play games which require really powerful gpu's and even when i do, i don't mind going to low settings and i searched up on this website called game-debate and apparently the one in my laptop is much more powerful than my current crappy one in my pc. Anyways, i wanted to remove the graphics card from my laptop and place it in my computer but like i said, me being a noob, im not really experienced with handling this sort of stuff and im scared of damaging the laptop without knowing what im doing. I will show pictures of the laptops motherboard :

Can you please tell me where the graphics card is?

Over there.

Over there.

Where? Lol, can you give me a specific point.

Sorry to tell you this, but you cannot put a laptop graphics card into a desktop computer. They are completely different, run from different amounts of power and are not compatable with each others hardware.

There aren't many pictures of it, however from what I can tell it's just a GPU (though the name is making me think otherwise), so it looks just like a normal processor chip. Look through your device manager and figure out if your processor name matches the name.

Even if its the same processor, laptops have integrated graphics chips, fixed to the actual motherboard. Even if you get it off, it would take heavy modifications to adapt it so it could work in his desktop.

No, you cant take your laptops GPU or CPU and insert it into PC. It comes soldered to the motherboard.

If you want look at the GPU chip,remove that heat sink, it will be the smaller one by the side of the CPU with ATI logo. But you cant do anything with it.

This. It's not possible at all.

That doesn't really look like a GPU tbh, and besides you have to keep in mind laptop hardware is mostly integrated, the processor and GPU mainly, other components like RAM might be upgraded but impossible to be placed onto desktops mobo's due to the pin difference, furthermore the GPU being integrated onto the motherboard means it's soldered onto it, and you cannot remove that without damaging your laptop and the chip. So taking that off and applying it onto the desktops motherboard is like dragging a sun across another solar system and placing it in orbit.

Look for an HD 7750, it an equivelent xbox one level GPU, reference cards are usually around 80 dollars, they're dirt cheap, and should be able to ultra most games upto early 2013.
