MSI does not support upgrading a notebook GPU mainly due to the thermal design of the notebook and the used thermal module.
Most times the stock thermal unit does not fit on the replacing MXM module.
MSI does not prohibit upgrading the GPU, but all is done at your own risk. The bios does not exclude any GPUs by means of a white list so you'll basically have a 50-50% shot of getting it working. No other GPUs are tested than the one the notebook came with.
Make sure the power requirements of the GPU match so the chance of thermal issues reduces.
