Hi there, 
I am wanting to upgrade my mother board from Intel® Core™ i7-10700F to a desktop motherboard like MSI MAG B560 TOMAHAWK WIFI LGA 1200 ATX Motherboard as the pins from my new PSU are for a regular motherboard not a HP one. I.e 24pins for power. My question is will the CPU from Intel® Core™ i7-10700F work on this new mother board.

I have also changed the PSU and GPU. Is there anything else I need to upgrade (outside of cooling systems and drivers). 

I'm trying to avoid getting a new CPU at the moment. 

Any help or advise welcome before I purchase a New MB.

hi

it's up to you, but if you change the motherboard, you might have some problems..
As long as you mention the power supply problem, I would advise you to buy a case, which can accept almost any type of motherboard, you could also have an advantage, for graphics cards
dimensions generally limited depending on the hp model!
in terms of compatibility, you just need to check the manufacturer's data, everything must be specified, namely that the processor possibilities are much larger in general

so maybe

Core i7Cometlakei7-10700F

check model and document, but if this, it looks  ok
