Old computer, new monitor

[BobbyClobber]

Hi. I have an HP Envy Phoenix H9 PC, bought in about 2012, and am considering getting an HP Z27 27-inch 4 K UHD Monitor.

Basic question from a neophyte - is the computer too old to be compatible with a new monitor? Would there be issues connecting it up and functionality?

Thank you for your help.

This machine won't drive 4K monitor properly.
