Greetings
Welcome to the forum.
I am not an HP employee.
Your PC has a proprietary PSU. Your PC also has a proprietary motherboard.There is no 24 pin motherboard connection. The HP motherboard and PSU have the following connectors instead of the standard ATX PSU connectors:
PSU fan connector,
8 Pin SATA power,
4 pin Main,
Plus the standard 4 pin CPU connection
You will have to get a more powerful PSU from HP.
HP makes more powerful PSUs that will work. You can't install a retail PSU such as a Corsair, or Seasonic, or Antec PSU.
You could check HP PartSurfer but recent checks for HP PSU upgrades return no hits.

From the support page for that unit, it indicates the release date of 11-June-2018. I am fairly certian doing as suggested would violate and void the Warranty. Also ,there does not seem to be any information on the support page to confirm/deny that power supply's dimensions/information. You could get the measurements of the existing power supply and compare that to the power supply that is being considered. Be certain to check on the type of connectors needed.
