So someone gave me this HP slim desktop Intel Pentium Silver J5040 in hopes I can upgrade it for them but I am having a hard time finding the right CPU and GPU (if you can upgrade the GPU) to this thing. I usually find out the motherboard and see what I can upgrade but I can not find anything. If I can, I want to put a CPU with 6-8 cores and a new GPU that can handle AutoCAD. I also want to upgrade the RAM (8 to 32) and Storage (200 GB to 1000 GB) but the CPU and GPU are the number one priority.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Your HP Slim Desktop S01-aF2xxx as fitted with the BohemiaRP motherboard (SSID: 8648), cannot be upgraded with a different processor:
Moreover, this PC is too antiquated (and underpowered) to be used other than for basic PC functions such as web browsing and playing Microsoft games such as Mahjong and Minesweeper.
Honestly, I would not spend any money on this system.
