Would my laptop support 4k or 8k external monitor?

I have a run of the mill laptop (Toshiba S55) with built-in graphic control. I have an external 1920x1080 monitor plugged in and it works fine.

If I were to acquire a 4K, or 8K monitor, would my laptop support it and give me the native resolution on the monitor?
 
What CPU does it have ?

Something like the i7 4700MQ supports 4k @60Hz here, but that was just the first Toshiba to show up on Google.

If you look at the intel page for your CPU it will give you max res and similar (assuming you're using the iGPU and not a discrete card).
I don't know how to read the following"
