Hi @Brandon87 

HP does not provide much system info with "CTO" PCs.

Many HP MBs support CPU upgrade options having different core and thread counts.

Your MB probably supports a 5700G. Look at HP System Information for MB specifics or check System Information in Windows Tools, Control Panel to identify the MB.

I would need the MB SSID or name to check CPU upgrade info. A different forum member may have the MB information required to provide assistance.

Hi @Brandon87 

Your MB may be the Erica6.

This MB, if your PC has this, supports a 5700G.
