such games. I've heard about video card(?) and graphic card(?).I don't know
how to look up those infos from my computer. Someone please tell me what I
need to upgrade, if any, in order to play those games. ALSO, please
recommend a controller to use. I know I still need to use the keyboard
besides the controller.Thank you.

Hello,

On a laptop, it may be extremely difficult to upgrade the GPU (video card). You can find out what your system has by clicking start, then in the search box type dxdiag. That should show you the dxdiag.exe program, double click that, allow it to load, then click on the display tab. It will give you all the details of your video card.

I hope this helps.
