Product: Slimline 290-p0043w
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
I have a 290-p0043w with the Celeron G4900. I would like to upgrade the processor, and would like to use an i3-8100T. This is the low power version (25watt). The documentation say an i3-8100 (65watt) is compatible. Would the 8100T work?

hi
Do you have a specific reason for this choice?
Normally better to stick to what is validated by HP
the i5 might be even more advantageous
That said, if you haven't changed anything else, it will still be a little behind.
