Product: HP G5370uk Desktop PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

On a MSI 2A9C motherboard version 1.1

BIOS version  - Amerocan Megatrends Inc 6.18, 05/01/2012

Can I upgrade this to an I5 chip, without changing motherboards?

Hi:

 

This discussion provides the processors you can install in your PC.

 

Solved: MS-7613 (Iona-GL8E) CPU upgrade problem - HP Support Community - 7634164

 

Seems like the person in the above discussion had a similar model PC that came from the factory with an i5-750 processor.

 

If you install one of the Intel i5 or i7 quad core processors, your PC must have a discrete graphics card because the onboard Intel graphics adapter is only supported for PC's with the Intel dual core processors.
