If it is the SFF or MT, the best you can do would be the i7-7700K.

 

No Intel 8th Generation Core or newer processors are supported.

Then the i7-7700K should work according to this PC benchmarking website:

 

UserBenchmark: HP EliteDesk 800 G3 SFF Compatible Components

 

If you are interested in installing W11 on your PC as is, you can read this discussion for how I upgraded several HP and Dell notebook and desktop PC's that did not meet the W11 hardware requirements to W11 22H2/22H3

 

You have to use the version of the Rufus utility that I zipped up and attached in the discussion (v3.18).

If the in-place upgrade fails, you should be able to clean install W11 using the bootable W11 installation flash drive you made with Rufus.

 

W11 runs fine on my 800 G3 DM, and it has the i5-6500T processor.
