Product: HP Compaq 4000 Pro SFF
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello, can anyone could help me?

 

I am looking to update to update the bios on my HP Compaq 4000 Pro SFF.


I am currently running bios verison 786H7 v2.02 7/9/11



And I am also wondering if it is possible to run a gt 1030 on this pc, I have seen people running this card on the hp compaq 6000 sff, but I am worried that it might not work on this my pc.


Thanks in advance,
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@MysticVolt, welcome to the forum.

 

Here is the latest BIOS update for the computer.  Since your computer was released in 2011 I know that it didn't come with Win 10.  The update states for Win 8.

 

The GT 1030 requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a Legacy/standard BIOS.  The last video cards not to require UEFI are the GTX 660/670 series.  Also, these cards require a minimum of 300W to operate properly.  Your PSU is only 240W.
