8300 SFF
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi sorry to be a pain as I've seen this or similar question ALOT on forums but the more i read these questions the more I just ended up confused with many have conflicting answers. 

So with that being said I have a HP 8300 SFF computer with a bios of 2.05 SMbios of 2.7 my PC came at windows 10 so I don't think its possible to update this as far as I am aware. My goal of getting this new CPU is to have the ability to stream at a decent standard so if you have any other suggestions which are compatible that would be much help!

Sorry again for asking a question which your probably fed up of hearing.
