    Nope, you would have to replace the motherboard.

    The PO5-640 uses a standard ATX motherboard. To use a 14th gen CPU you need a motherboard with a 14th gen chipset. At the same time you would likely want to also change to different memory though you should be able to use the same storage. You would have to deal with the requirement for different drivers as well.
