Hi:

 

I have always been of the mindset to go big or go home.

 

Below is the link to the quickspecs for your PC's model series.

 

The supported processors can be found on pages 7 & 8.

IMO, you should max it out with the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 Processor, which is supported in the SFF and CMT models.

Thanks

 

Also, will I have to reinstall windows 10 if I replace my CPU?

HP Recommended

You're very welcome.

 

You shouldn't have to reinstall W10.

 

W10 should automatically make adjustments for the different processor.
