can the video card be upgraded null

Yes, but only within the limits of the very small 250W power supply. With the stock r5 340 graphics card, the system is already peaking around 195 Watts. So that leaves you with only 55W before the absolute max, which you do not want to push on a tiny stock PSU like this. So you are pretty much limited to a very weak GPU without upgrading the power supply. The PSU is proprietary and has a 10-pin power connection that is not at all compatible with aftermarket power supplies. Even a modular power supply would have to be modified to fit Levovo's unique pin configuration.

Yes, a compatible GPU could be used as a replacement GPU within this system.

Yes - my son installed a graphics card from his gaming PC. Works like a charm.
