HP Pavilion All-in-One - 27-a210t
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi,

 

I have a Pavilion AIO 27-a210t that is currently running a Intel i7-7700t processor. I would like to upgrade it to a Gen 8 core processor so I would be able to upgrade it to Windows 11.

 

Can this AIO support a Gen 8 core processor?

 

If so which ones?

 

Thanks in Advance,

 

Wayne

Hi, Wayne:

 

Below is the link to the product specs for your PC.

The processor upgrade info can be found on the above link.

 

Processor upgrade information

  • TDP: 35 W
  • Socket type: LGA 1151
  • Motherboard supports the following processor upgrades:
    Processor
    TDP
    Integrated Graphics
    Intel Core i7-7700T (Kabylake) 2.9 GHz Quad Core
    35 W
    Intel HD Graphics 630
    Intel Core i5-7400T (Kabylake) 2.4 GHz Quad Core
    35 W
    Intel HD Graphics 630
    Intel Core i3-7100T (Kabylake) 3.4 GHz Dual Core
    35 W
    Intel HD Graphics 630
    Intel Pentium G4560T (Kabylake) 2.9 GHz Dual Core
    35 W
    Intel HD Graphics 610

     

    I believe that they may still be ironing out the final processor requirements.

     

    I have heard that further testing is being done to lower the Intel processor requirements to the 7th gen Kaby Lake processors.

     

    Microsoft could lower CPU requirements for Windows 11 (windowslatest.com)

Thanks...

 

Changed my insider channel and downloading it now. Nice to have a AIO as a space to play with...
