Microsoft Windows 11

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.

@Matt_10,

 

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.

 

Kind Regards,
