Product: HP Pavilion 550-100na Desktop
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I would like to upgrade my Graphics Card, which is currently AMD Radeon R5-330.  PSU is 180W.

I would like to know where I can find recommendations for a graphics card, which is compatible with windows 10.  I am not a gamer, but do use photoshop and watch DVDs and want to have much better quality graphics

Thanks

@themacksteruk, welcome to the forum.

 

You won't be able to upgrade the video card without upgrading the power supply unit (PSU).  It would have to be at least 500W.  You should measure the space where the PSU is installed and check to see if you can find one that will fit.

Hi,

 

Please refer to this HP Support Center site for a detailed description of your PC's system board.

 

The system board has no PCIe x16 expansion slots.

 

You cannot install a discrete graphics card in the motherboard.

 

Cancel the above. The PC has an X16 slot, I think??

 

That is strange. One HP reference document shows a Camphor2 system board installed in the product number and a different HP document shows an Orchid3 system board. I may have mismatched a cross-reference when looking at the specs, Duh!

 

Did you verify there is an x16 slot on the system board?
