The latest version for your HP 8000 Elite desktop PC, v01.14 Rev.A, dated Nov 27, 2015 is at the link below this line.
Check the BIOS version that is installed in your PC's motherboard before considering installing it. Press the PC power button and immediately begin tapping the F10 key to access the BIOS.
System information is also where you can see what is installed.
If you would like a processor upgrade to work as expected, only install one of the processors listed in the illustrated part list in the document below. Make certain that you only purchase and use processors with HP part numbers.
