"Yes, but it is often difficult due to proprietary parts.
Many HP desktops (like the Pavilion, Envy, and Slimline series) use custom motherboards and power supply connectors rather than the industry-standard 24-pin ATX format.
Key Obstacles
Proprietary Connectors: HP motherboards often use a unique 4-pin or 7-pin power connector. A standard off-the-shelf PSU will not plug in without a specific adapter.
Physical Size: Small Form Factor (SFF) or "Slimline" models use TFX or custom-shaped power supplies that are much smaller than standard units.
Motherboard Limits: Even with an adapter, some HP motherboards cannot handle the power delivery of high-wattage units.
How to Upgrade
Check for HP Upgrades: Look for higher-wattage HP-branded units designed for your specific chassis (e.g., upgrading from a 180W to an HP 500W unit like the L05757-800).
Use an Adapter: If you want to use a standard ATX power supply, you can often find "24-pin to 6-pin" (or similar) adapters on sites like eBay or Amazon tailored to your specific HP model.
Verify the Case: Ensure the new unit physically fits inside the desktop."
Also, you could try asking the seller on Ebay. Lastly, modifying a computer purchased as an assembled, working unit will void your warranty.
