Adding an off-board graphics adapter like an Nvidia GTX, is this possible with Aspire E5-575?

Hello,
My company gave me a basic bare-bones office quality laptop, an Acer Aspire E5-575. I am not an office worker, I'm an Instructional Designer that has to work on both graphics and multimedia, I can get them to foot the bill for 32GB of system RAM, but it also has a paltry 1GB of internal Intel VRAM with integrated GPU on the motherboard.  My question is, can I add another graphics adapter card to this like an Nvidia card, then disable the on-board GPU? My personal laptop could see both, each driving different displays. I just got a "BOOTMGR not found" on my personal laptop, so until I get that sorted out, I'm stuck using this work computer for everything, now working from home. Even a 4GB graphics adapter would be better than this on-board 1GB GPU, but don't know if it can be added and then disable the on-board GPU through the BIOS or not. And answers like have them buy you a better laptop are NOT helpful, I have to make the best of the situation at hand.

You can add fairly powerful external GPUs using one of the m.2 slots. eGPUs can be a bit clunky to wire but gives you a lot more graphics capability Jack E/NJ
