Re: HP Spectre 15-ch055na won’t upgrade to 1809
I just did another check at https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05195282 which is a list of HP products tested with Windows 10 and the HP Spectre x360 Convertible 15-ch0xx is still listed there as compatible. Isn't that false advertising or has someone out there actually got 1809 to install on their Spectre? Inquiring minds want to know :) Wishful thinking on my part since people won't be on the forums if they aren't having problems...normally anyway.

Reset failed, no OS now, lost the product key of pre installed windows ,bios locked
Sir,
My system was performing slow and considering friends recommendations I tried resetting my pc. But the process was having some error and now I am left with no OS. My boot was locked and now when I restart the boot screen appears to enter password. When I enter password it tells no OS found. When I press escape key and F10 it's asking for password. And I tried both boot password and previous windows password. Both failed and bios is getting locked. Error code I 93670721 . I dont know what to do. Please help
Regards

Hi:
Restart the PC, and enter this unlock passcode...04425164
If you still have no operating system, you can reinstall W10 as follows...
You can make a W10 USB flash drive installer with the Microsoft Media Creation Tool, using an 8 GB flash drive using another Windows PC, if your PC is not working.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
If you are asked to enter a product key during the installation process, select the 'I don't have a product key' option, and W10 will install and automatically activate once you are connected to the internet.
Here are the steps to create the W10 USB flash drive installer...
- Select Download tool now, and select Run.
- If you agree to the license terms, select Accept.
- On the What do you want to do? page, select Create installation media for another PC, and then select Next.
Select the language, edition, and architecture (64-bit or 32-bit) for Windows 10. You want 64 bit.
- Select which media you want to use:
- USB flash drive. Plug in a blank USB flash drive with at least 8GB of space. Any content on the flash drive will be deleted.
Then you can reinstall the drivers and available software from the PC's support page.

If you are willing to do so, please provide additional information:
1. "Strongly suggested" in Upper Case fonts seems to say you feel you were perhaps forced into the update.
Can you clarify how this happened?
For example:
Where did you see the recommendation?
Were you not given a choice to refuse the update?
2. You wrote: "After BIOS update, computer boots and stop working."
Can you clarify? Does the computer boot completely, that is, does the boot post to the login screen?
If yes, are you able to log in - and THEN the computer stops working?
OR
Did the computer fail to complete the BIOS update?
That is, did the computer shut down after the intial process started and then fail to boot completely?

Re: Reset failed, no OS now, lost the product key of pre installed windows ,bios locked
Sorry sir,
The number you told I tried in both boot screen and bios screen. It's telling incorrect. What to do?

Re: Bios update kill's probooks
Operating system: Window 10 64 clean install.
HP recommendations on bios update: https://support.hp.com/lt-en/document/c05147197
From HP support page: "Due to security changes, after this BIOS update is installed, previous versions cannot be reinstalled. "
Does this mean, the computer became useless after BIOS update ? Can it be reversed ?
Both computers updated BIOS, in windows. After the bios software rebooted computer, it only blinked.
I've tried win+b, win+v, kept power button down, 20 sec, 1 min, and a very long time. Removed battery,
power cord. Nothing. Just white blinking.
Any suggestions ?

Sir, one more query. If i want to install ubuntu side by side I should install windows first or ubuntu first?
↧
Re: Reset failed, no OS now, lost the product key of pre installed windows ,bios locked
You're very welcome.
I would install Windows first.
You can always leave ubuntu on a the flash drive installer and select the 'try ubuntu without installing' option.

Re: Bios update kill's probooks
The security notice is two years old. Interestingly, the important detail naming the OS version is not included. I would guess that at the time the notice was written, it was intended for the supported OS / Versions for the computer.
Regardless, the notice is out of date - the "latest" BIOS update is F.64 Rev.A, dated October 2016. The "latest" BIOS is not intended for Windows 10.
ProBook 6465b: I do not find any HP updates for Windows 10, including any BIOS.
What is the installation package you used?
What is the ".exe" filename?
Did you attempt to install a BIOS meant for Windows 8.x (or even Windows 7) onto your Windows 10 system?
If you have done so, you are far away from anything I know how to fix. Rats.
As to "going back", I doubt that is an option, else you would be able to have done so.
OK...
You could try the following - I have to say, though, that this procedure is not intended to fix a non-compatible BIOS update attempt.
“Press and Pray”
IF the BIOS update is just stuck / stubborn / frozen-in-place half way through the update / boot process,
IF there is not actually anything wrong with the windows installation or the File System,
The following procedure might resolve the issue.
- Unplug everything, including power and all other externally connected components
- Press and hold down the power button for forty (40) seconds
- Release the power button
- Plug in only basic components –
- Desktop: Power, wired mouse and keyboard, HDMI to monitor (monitor is powered on)
- Notebook: Connect AC Power
- Switch on the system with power button - Click power and release (as for normal boot)
Hoped for Results:
- System switches on, monitor active, mouse and keyboard responsive
- Screen shows the BIOS update window with choices: cancel / update
- Wait several seconds ..stare at it and contemplate actions.. (In at least one case, never needed to click "update" -- system continued on its own after about 10-20 seconds)
- BIOS update continues on its own, completes, and reboots the system
When the system reboots,
- Log in
- Connect LAN (Ethernet)
- Connect other components (USB, external webcam, speakers...)
- General housekeeping (checks, more staring at it)
