    When you say "update", you mean update the drivers?

    You don't actually have to use a Fujitsu-Siemens exclusive driver. Any NVIDIA update will do.

    Even if you had a well-known branded laptop the chanced of being able to upgrade your graphics card would be around 1%

    force the update.

    go to device manager and right click on the graphics device. choose update driver. make sure you click "have disk" then browse and find the driver.
    install it and ignore the warnings.

    Someone posted a link to an easy to install recent driver straight from Nvidia. I forget the thread title, but look for it in the gaming section. I did that, it was easy, things are great. :)
