The system board in your laptop is unlikely to have a slot for a mobile 1060 card, or room in the case for it. Also, your current power supply is unlikely to have the wattage to run it. And then there’s the heat issue. These cards run HOT when gaming and your fans aren’t designed for that.

Buy an actual gaming laptop, or build a crazy fast desktop for less hassle and money.
