Hi:

Your PC can only run the 6th gen Slylake processors.

See the quickspecs link below, where you can find the list of supported processors...

I found that Chipset Intel Q170 Compatible with 7th Generation  

www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Intel_(chipsets)/Q170.html

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Important: Below is a support list for the Q170 chipset, and not a support list for your motherboard, built on that chipset. The chipset is only one of key elements that determine CPU compatibility. Other key factors are: socket type, package type, maximum Thermal Design Power, BIOS version, CPU core name and stepping. For that reason not all motherboards, built on the chipset, will be compatible with all listed processors. Please use the list only as a guidance.

If any Intel 7th gen core processors were supported, HP would have included them in the quickspecs list.

Here are all the BIOS release notes for the 800 G2 desktop PC model series.  As you can see, no BIOS updates added support for additional processors.
