Question Can I upgrade to I series?

Looks like they all ship with the same B360 board, regardless of the configuration.

So, yes, I would fully expect you could upgrade to any CPU that ships in a 400 G5 from the factory (i5-8500 etc).... Other CPUs that don;'t ship natively in the configuration will likely work too, as it'll be a chipset limitation -- but there's a slim chance the BIOS for those boards only support the CPUs that HP ship with.

How can I check/verify that (before spending)?
Also how do I check power supply? Will it take an additional 11w if I go with an i5?
And thanks for the speedy response!
