When you look at the 6 motherboards offered in the entire model series, it appears that the PC you have comes with the best processor that was offered in the model series.
Select the product specifications drop down list.
HP Slimline 260-a100 Desktop PC series Product Information | HP® Customer Support
None of the processors can be upgraded.
There is one motherboard with an Intel processor, and it is a weak Celeron J3060.
If you want to move up to an Intel i9 series processor, you will need to buy a new PC.
