You are using one of the old variant so if you want to install any graphics hungry software, it will warn you the same all the time. Moreover, I think the upgrade might be an costly option for you. Try any of the XPS variant like Dell XPS15, 4K UHD InfinityEdge Touch, Intel Core i7-9750H with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 and 4GB GDDR5. This beast will never disappoint you.
