What motherboard do you have?

make and model of motherboard and current CPU

motherboard; A68MH-E33 V2
CPU: amd a4 6300 apu radeon hd graphics 3.7ghz

While you can get better CPUs than the one you already have without changing the motherboard, it's such an old, slow, platform that I wouldn't recommend bothering upgrading to any CPU that runs on that motherboard.

according to manufacturer : https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/A68HM-E33-V2/Specification ,Supports FM2+ Socket for AMD® A-series/ Athlon™ Series Processor so that means;

if you have BIOS : 7721v85 you can use

if you did not update or dont want to from the manufacturer web page then this is the list of CPU you can use:

@the paladin do you recommend upgrading bios to 7721v85
or
do you recommend leaving bios and using one you linked https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_accelerated_processing_unit_microprocessors#
