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.
