I would like to upgrade my motherboard of my desktop as the current one does not support a processor upgrade. Please what are my options. I tried to search on my own with no luck. Thank you for your time! 😊

Sorry no one has responded to your post, but the reason for that is because what you are trying to do generally does not work.
Let me explain why ...
HP does not make or sell motherboards; instead, it contracts with others to do that -- and the resulting devices are highly-customized for HP. That means that you are not going to be able to find retail motherboards that are precise replacements for the HP motherboards.
The HP motherboards nearly always include custom jacks for front ports on their case, generally audio and/or USB jacks, and these custom jacks are not available on retain boards. So, if you have a set of front audio/USB ports and you replace the HP motherboard with a retail one, when you go to reconnect the cables for your ports, you will find there is no port on the motherboard that will accept that custom cable.
