Hello, yes, you can change the processor in that PC. To work with the motherboard in that system, you would be looking for another Kaby Lake / 8th generation Intel processor. It may be difficult to locate a replacement for those as they have been discontinued by Intel and would no longer be sold by Micro Center.
