Product: envy h8 1420t
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My computer has an integrated gpu - Intel HD Graphics 4000, and I want to install a geforce gtx 1650 ventus card.  I don't know if my BIOS will work with it: AMI 8.14 (12/17/2012), SMBIOS 2.7, embedded controller = 255.255, mode = UEFI.  This would be for video editing.

The BIOS shouldn't be an issue.  The PSU requirement for the card is 300W, so you will likely need to upgrade the PSU

 

Specs for the card you are looking at.

To see what is known to work and what does not, take a look at the Google query I did for you at the link below this line.

The link below this line has a great discussion  in the HP forum on upgrading your PC from back in 2012.
