Hi,
I am the owner of an HP 705 G3 MT and i was considering the idea of upgrading to a 1st gen Ryzen CPU. I am a bit confused if my MT motherboard/bios would support or not such an upgrade. Below you can find some info about me system:
PC model: HP 705 G3 MT (with Win10 64bit OS)

Current CPU: AMD PRO A10-8770
Current BIOS: P06 Ver. 02.35
I would like to upgrade my A10 to either a:
1. Ryzen 7 1700 (not X, not PRO) or a
2. Ryzen 7 1700X (not PRO) or a
3. Ryzen 6 1600 (not PRO)
*Video output is not problem as i have a LP GPU available and ready for use
HP Resources suggesting that i could upgrade:

Hi:
This discussion indicates that the 1st gen Ryzen processor doesn't work, even though the info from HP indicates that it does.
The person did have a discrete video card installed.
