I have an EliteDesk 800 G3 Mini Desktop with 32gb memory and an i3-6100T processor. I just upgraded the ram to 32gb and now want to upgrade the processor. My model is a 35w model. Do I have to stick to the 6th gen in order for everything to work?

Greetings,

Welcome back to the forum.

You can check processor upgrade options at this HP Support site (Link).

 

Your PC supports 7th gen Intel CPUs @35 watts. 7xxxT processors are good to go.

I actually spoke to a help desk person today from HP and he answered all my questions. Yes 6th gen to 7th gen are swapable on the Elitedesk 800 G3 35w. I am going to get an i5-6600t or i7-6700T.
