Updating an old computer

[Adam-Dobie]

Hello all,

I am looking for help with an idea I have: I have an old HP Media Center, HP M8330F and when I bought it new I loved all the functions of the media center FM Radio, analog & digital TV, the remote control with infrared plugin, and the media control keyboard functions. 

Question is: Can I update the OS, RAM, drivers, memory, power supply, and fans, yet still be able to use the media center functions I listed above? I mean this was such a great computer with the technology I would hate to get rid of that without knowing there was a chance to update everything and still be able to use the remote control, radio, and TV functions.

Welcome to the HP Forum.

I don't know if this is doable.

The PC (released for sale in about 2008??) shipped with Windows Vista Home Premium.

I think much of the stuff you like about this PC would be lost due to software unavailability when running on a newer version of Windows. Windows 10 maybe??

And you might have hardware (MB and CPU) OS upgrade compatibility problems.

I did not check to see if your PC can run Windows 10.

W7 and W8 are retired. This PC would not be able to do W11.

Maybe enjoy the PC (as is) sans the Internet.

Regards
