As mentioned above in the thread, your mentioned model is not a computer that can be upgraded manually, I'd suggest you find a cheap mid-tower PC.
I'd have some suggestions for you, firstly avoid buying OEM PCs especially HP ones as they use proprietary solutions which end up blocking ur route of future upgradeability or placing in a bigger graphic card (as they require beefier PSUs which usually OEMs don't have). I think Dell PCs are a bit better in this regard but definitely don't opt for HP.
Secondly you have to keep in mind that Intel changes their socket with almost every new gen meaning if u decide to later upgrade from like a 2nd gen i3 to a 7th gen i5 you will have to also purchase a new motherboard which supports the newer gen's socket as well as new ram (if ur upgrading from DDR3 to DDR4) so its quite a hefty upgrade cost.
On the other hand Ryzen (from 1st to 4th gen) uses the same AM4 socket meaning u would have better future proofing in that regard.
