Can the HP PAVILLION ALL IN ONE 27 – A257C or processor be upgraded?

Your PC's motherboard supports the following processors only, so your PC already has the best processor offered in the model series.

• 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

  If you were wanting to know this information to be able to upgrade to W11, and If you are interested in installing W11 24H2 on your PC as is, watch this video:

  Download the W24H2 ISO file and use that (3rd option).   

  Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com)

  You can download the free 7-Zip file utility from the link below.  The top line is for 64 bit.

  You'll have to repeat this procedure each October when Microsoft rolls out the new builds because a PC that does not meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements will never automatically get the update to the next build.

  Other than that, your PC will continue to get the monthly cumulative and other updates.

  That's only a minor inconvenience to have continued OS support beyond October of 2025.
