Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

• Did you check the product specs of the graphics cards?

For now please check these links out:

• Product specs of the computer: http://hp.care/2fZjfbB
• The internal power supply is 180 W uATX Energy Star 6.0 internal power supply

The motherboard Willow2 specs are: http://hp.care/2fXAD0c

It has integrated graphics. However, it has Expansion slots to add graphics cards.

• One PCIe x16 socket

• One M.2 socket 1, key A

• One M.2 socket 3, key M

Look under expansion cards.

• Your motherboard checks all the right boxes for the Graphics card and it should be compatible with the computer.
• However, the power supply required for the graphics card is 300W.
• So If you plan to upgrade the graphics card, you will also need to upgrade the power supply of the computer to 300 W.

Some points to remember.

• Please update the bios to its latest version.
• Make sure that the form factor of the car matches the slot of the computer.
• Ensure that the new power supply form factor fits the computer.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
