windows 10 (32bit) only supports 4GB ram max, so if you have 16GB useable you have the 64 bit version of windows 10

 

next is your Hp Elitedesk 800 G4 a mini tower or small form factor (SFF) model?

 

only the mini tower can fit full sized video cards like the 1070

 

last, the minitower power supply is only 250 watts, which will not support a 1070 and uses a non ATX power supply

 

you can however replace the HP supply with a standard 550 watt (name brand) ATX supply, and then use a adapter to connect the ATX supply to the HP motherboard

Thank you for the response and I would like to know if this method would work with all hp/Dell/Lenovo desktops?

also would you happen to have a youtube link detailing how to set this with a desktop?

if a ATX adapter does not exist for a venders propriety power supply, then obviously it will not work, the fact that you are asking this question shows that you are not skilled enough to do this ATX conversion and should consider having a local PC repair shop do this power supply conversion for you
