Welcome to our HP User Forum!
That is a very good question indeed. As far as Intel is concerned, the Z690 chipset is most certainly compatible with 13th-generation Intel processors.
However, that also depends on HP. Intel specifically mentioned that, and I quote: "users must first update their motherboard BIOS before installing a 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPU to ensure compatibility."
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any information online that would suggest that HP has released a BIOS update (yet?) for the BlizzardOC motherboard (SSID: 8917) to allow 13th gen Intel processor support for your OMEN By HP 40L Gaming Desktop PC GT21-0000a (514R6AV).
