Thanks for the quick reply.
Can you explain this forum post then?

Also, if I can't get eGPU support, is there a way of upgrading my graphics card? Am I stuck with Intel HD 3000?
No, I can't. The person posting it never gave any information on the product. Unless your model has a PCIe bus port access like a plug-in card I cannot see how you would use it. Your model does have Thunderbolt 2 ports for displays but I don't know if they could be used by an eGPU. Maybe you should be searching Google instead of here.
Sorry, but that computer is too old for such support. Today it is only supported by MBPs with Thunderbolt 3 ports.
