Hello

 

HP has created an article about your request and issues >> https://support.hp.com/bg-en/document/c00042629

Read the article and try following the steps for updating the BIOS via the USB method (when Windows does not start)

 

 

However, I'd like to ask you why  you want to update the BIOS ?  

 

Personally, I do not recommend you do it unless you experience some issues with your existing BIOS and you are sure that the new BIOS will fix it.

 

General recommendation I provide to users/customers is NOT to upgrade BIOS/UEFI unless they experience any kind of specific BIOS/UEFI issue. Updating just for updaing and just for using the latest verson is not solution. Any kind of update (no matter for what and who relesed it) can fix 2 issues but may introduce 10 more issues. Additionally, upgrading the BIOS (for any vendor) poses more risks because BIOS recovery is not that easy as compared to typical software updates IF something goes wrong.

 

Same applies for Windows Updates, OS update, drivers updates, etc - upgrade/update IF you have issues which you know are fixed in the newer version or for some severe security issues in the wild. Otherwise, keep the existing version as long as possible. Here is an additional opinion about this >> https://www.howtogeek.com/136881/htg-explains-do-you-need-to-update-your-computers-bios/
