can i put a new motherboard into my gt-21xx or does it only support the current one installed

HP Recommended

@Kenrick_,

 

I believe it will support any of the three motherboards I referenced, but your best bet is to buy the same motherboard, since you'll be guaranteed that all electronic components (CPU, RAM, drives) and connected hardware are compatible without issues.

 

Is your current motherboard defective?  Meaning, is this the reason for your post? And if so, what motherboard do you have?

 

Kind Regards,
