Compatibility question (upgrading old hp)

[im a beginner]

I want to upgrade one of my old HP PAVILION HPE h8-1120 PC at my dads house. There’s a nvidea gt 530 inside that and I was thinking about putting a nvidea gt 1030 in its spot. I really don’t know anything more than the power consumption requirements, but will there be any problems with this? Thanks

Considering the age of the pc, you'd likely need to change the power supply. They degrade over time, and the one currently in use likely isn't capable of 300w(the 1030s power requirement) anymore. IF you were to go and install one, you'd soon run into an issue of the card not working, or display shutting off.
