I think 9020 AIO uses miniPCIe wifi cards such as
here are DP/N for them
Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235, 2x2 agn + Bluetooth
Made by: Intel
Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260 2x2 AGN + Bluetooth 4.0

so it does not have the newer M.2 slot for WiFi card. I am not sure if you can install a GPU in the onboard miniPCIe slot (white slot 13285P shown on your pic).

Mini-PCIe GPU adapters do exist, but note:
1. The bandwidth of the slot is a tiny fraction of what a GPU needs -- so you won't get anywhere near the expected graphics performance, if the adapter even works,
2. You can't backfeed the video into the screen, so you'll need to feed the output to an external monitor.
3. You won't be able to close the case of the all in one with the cables required to connect to the external GPU box.
If you need a desktop with a better GPU, buy one -- the limitations of attaching a GPU to a wireless card slot will diminish greatly the return on what you'll spend. A true desktop system will run a GPU at full speed -- and even a decent used desktop system will likely not cost much more than just an external GPU box and power supply.

I suspect this is where the wifi card goes, does this give me that opportunity?

9020 AIO does not have M.2 slot on motherboard. It is an older model.

@ejn63 Actually thank you for telling me about the extarnal monitor, I will consider buying a new one if I can even sell this one.
