Go here for a list of compatible CPUs for the HP. You may just need to update the motherboard's BIOS (if not running the most current version now to recognize the new CPUs). Do the upgrade BEFORE installing the new CPUs:

So, if you have the current BIOS and you select compatible CPUs, then it is largely "plug and play" process.
