Upgrade processor?

[JohnLF]

Hi,

I have a 4 yr old HP ENVY Desktop - TE01-1177c with 32G memory and an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700F CPU @ 2.90GHz.

Is this machine upgradeable ?  Or would i be better off just buying a whole new machine? I can probably get a new one with 32G and a newer processor for ~$1000

I will suggest you to buy a new system because  newer systems come with improved processors, better energy efficiency, and potentially more advanced features also it will save your time.

Understood. Now that I see the specs on the processors I'm not sure if upgrading the cpu will get me anything
