into the HP550 card slot and chassis. thanks

@DENGAN , welcome to the forum.

Each video card manufacturer has their own specifications for the same model.  Here are the Specifications for MSI's GT 1030 2 G OC:  https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-GT-1030-2G-LP-OC/Specification

You will see that the card should fit fine, but it requires a minimum of 300W to operate properly.  It is the overclocked version, but I believe that any of the cards will require the 300W.  The power supply unit (PSU) in your computer is only 180W.  Therefore, it would have to be upgraded, also.

Thanks for your advice Old Geekster, now that I can be sure the 1030 card will fit I will go ahead with the order  and I have also ordered a new new PSU ( same size as the existing PSU )

You are welcome, @DENGAN!  Always glad to help.

I suggest taking a picture of the motherboard with all of the connections in place.  This make it easier to install the new PSU.
