HP pavilion 690-00xx
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Starting to improve my desktop and upgraded the RAM by another 8gb (it's now 16gb altogether). I'm wanting to know if I can upgrade the processor myself on the motherboard so it goes from i5 to i7?

 

Main specs are:

Linc's 843b motherboard

Intel core i5-8400

CPU @ 2.80ghz

16gb RAM 

Windows 10 64-bit

Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050Ti

 

Any help is appreciated, I'm competent enough with tinkering just want more expert advice before going all in.

Your machine should be similar to the following machine

 

              HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop 690-0038

 

Sorry, the above machine use AMD CPU, and yours uses Intel CPU.  I can't find a machine with Intel CPU to compare. What is your machine ?

 

Regards.
