Hi Collinsv

Checked your PC's HP Support site.

There is only one BIOS update for your specific motherboard (family SSID 2B4B).

The details can be reviewed at this link.

I don't see any reference to adding support for the i7 7700k in the fixes or the details.

HP does not show native i7 7700 CPU support at the motherboard spec site.

The performance gain going from a 6700k to a 7700k is marginal. I am running a 6700k because I like to run Windows 7 and get updates.

You may never see a BIOS update from HP that will enable upgrading to a 7700k.

This forum has no direct link or contact with HP engineers who would be responsible for adding i7 7700 support to your motherboard.

Hi Collinsv

HP has a business model. They make thousands of products.

Any major OEM PC manufacturer (Dell, HP, Lenovo) can only support BIOS code updates for so long. Your motherboard chipset will support 7700k processors but HP has to enable this with a BIOS update.

You can't blame them.

The only way to have total control, even then you are at the mercy of various motherboard manufacturer's, is to build your own PC.

But then, you are tech support. You must support all of the hardware you purchase and install in your custom built PC. You are responsible if you break something when working with a component.

I have HP PC's and build my own. Each provides a different consumer experience. 

Greater control comes with with greater responsibility.
