Can i place my athlon 750k in my mobo?

My mobo is the jasmine msi ms-7778, yes it is a fm2 slot.
But on the specs website for Hp it said it can upgrade to certain apus.

The Athlon lacks an iGPU. It is guaranteed to not work if you don't have a video card. The processor is also not on the official CPU support list.

Yes, moreso than the socket compatibility.

does chipset affect the types of cpus you can put into it?
the chipset is A75 FCH

It might. I suspect the reason why it's not on the processor upgrade list is because the Athlon 750K lacks an iGPU.
