Lenovo H530 - Affordable Desktop PC by Lenovo | Lenovo UK

The Lenovo H530 is an entry-level desktop PC with great features and performance for its low price.

www.lenovo.com

It comes with your existing CPU,i3-4130,i5-4400 and a i7-4770.
With OEM pc's its best to buy a CPU that already comes with certain version of your computer's,because they all have the same mobo,and its the least risky type of upgrade.Of course i would suggest you tu buy a i7-4770,but if that is out of your budget,the i5-4400 is the option i would go for.I would avoid the i3 since it has only 2 cores
Example:I had a lenovo thinkcentre edge 72 with i3-3240,upgraded to a i5-3570,because its on the list of the cpu's that come with that tipe of computer:https://support.lenovo.com/rs/en/solutions/pd024645

Adding onto what @Djoza said, look for a used CPU. You may not even be able to find one new and if you do, it will most likely be of terrible value. When buying a used CPU, try to get one that hasn't been significantly overclocking by the original user and has been kept below 80 C at all times. Obviously, your going to just have to hope the original owner is being honest. Buying used is a very good thing to do from an environmental standpoint. An old i7 will outperform new pentiums, so the fact that companies still make these super low end CPUs is just a waste of materials and of manpower.

i7-4770 still holds ground on the i3-10100

So you're saying that I should get one that is in the other versions of this or what didn't understand that

That is what he's saying, since they should have same motherboard and same PSU. Also, certain manufacturers make their boards only compatible with certain RAM, CPU and more, to try to limit upgrade options. A CPU that the motherboard already can clearly take are the safest picks.

I didn't follow the link. I don't see a hardware manual for the 10130. You can always try one of the ones suggested in the thread.
