HI! Why is the anniversary update not clearly stated as supported for the brand new HP Spectre x360 13-w001no? Has anyone forced the update with a satisfactory result?

AS we have properly understood your issue you are facing issue in the Anniversary update for HP Spectre x360 13-w001no please follow these steps and let  us know once you are done:

 

 

New BIOS update for my Kaby Lake Spectre today!. During the installation wizard, I note the option to allow for the creation of a BIOS recovery partition of approximately 8gb. I selected yes for this. After sucessful BIOS update, I open Disk Management and I gained yet another 8gb RAW partition (now I have three). I realize a few things: The BIOS update Wizard is creating the aforementioned RAW partitions, and (sigh) does not remove them after a sucessful update. Maybe the idea is to keep the BIOS recovery partition (it's not named as such, BTW) around in case the sucessful BIOS update results in a malfunctioning computer. In any event, each of the three (two created by earlier BIOS updates, I expect) is to the "right" of my C volume in Disk Management. So, starting with the first RAW partition to the immediate right of C volume, I delete the RAW partition and then extend C volume to the now unallocated page. Repeated for the remaining two RAW partitions. So far, so good. And I recovered 24gb of SSD storage.

Have you tried it?

 

Did you get an error message when you tried to update it?

 

I am waiting for my 2017 product loan Spectre 13t to arrive, so I am curious.

No, haven't tried. I'm reluctant since if it fails and the notebook isn't "supported" you're on your own.

As long as you have

a)  used the HP recovery media creator and have a USB recovery  flashdrive

b)  cloned the disk to an external storage device (i.e. USB hard disk or a NAS)

 

Where is the risk?  I mitigate it.

 

When updates fail on mine, no worries.

 

I  just boot to the USB flash drive and use system restore to roll back to the checkpoint created before the update took place.

 

I could always use one of the clones I have of my system disk. I use Paragon Drive Copy 15.

 

I always have a plan B or even a plan C to fall back to.
