Product: OMEN by HP Desktop PC - 880-059no
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello, I was recently trying to upgrade my OMEN PC and I ran into some issues. I bought an Intel Core i7-9700K and a GTX 2070 Super to beef up my rig alittle only to find that the included prebuilt motherboard does not support that type of CPU. 

This is the OMEN PC that I currently have, The things I've swapped out is the GPU mentioned above, And the PSU for a 650w corsair one.

So here is where i need some help:
1. Is it possible to swap out the motherboard?
2. What is a reliable/affordable one that you recommend me swapping it out with that works with the CPU i bought?
3. Will i have to re-install or buy a new Windows 10 copy after replacing it?
4. Is there any complications in the OS or drives if i decide to replace the motherboard?

Thats just about all the questions I had in mind at the moment. Thank you and hopefully i'll get this solved.

Edit: I looked into some parts and I'm worried that it might some motherboards might have issues fitting into it so I will have to look into it later.  Any helpful suggestions for a motherboard or in general about the PC would be greatly appreciated.

Edit 2: I got the CPU wrong so fixed it*
