Hello friends, long time fan of LTT yet first time on the forum. Over a decade ago my family purchased an HP Touchsmart 300-1017 on QVC. It was 2008ish and we needed a new computer, touchscreens were new and cool and this has nothing to do with why I'm posting. I would love to be able to upgrade this computer to something modern, I like the form factor and just the way it look plus its nice to have a pc that is just different from all the others. Too the meat of the post
All of this Information seams to be accurate https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-TouchSmart-300-1000-Desktop-PC-series/4002827/document/c01909251/ .
My real questions are can i upgrade the motherboard/is it possible to find a custom form factor board with a AM4 Socket and If i keep the current board should i upgrade the cpu off of the recommendations in the link above or would i be able to use any cpu as long as its the correct socket and chipset for the current motherboard.
I hope this all makes sense and I'm looking forward to any help yall may be able to give!
