Is a eGPU setup possible with a M5-583P-9688?

After doing some surfing, I still can't figure out if I can do a eGPU setup, which requires mPCIe with enough memory. Switchable graphics, and removing the WIFI card from my Acer. When then I will connect to a board holding a Graphics card, and connect with other compoments to run the eGPU. But I still can't figure out if it will even work on my Acer let alone even detect it. I barely understand on how to check it myself, so I will provide system info of my PCI buses and Graphics, also BIOS. As they mostly contribute to this.
