Welcome to HP Support Community, @Ehiz
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
1.Remove all spaces and invalid characters
→ Try entering as one line without breaks.
2.Make sure you're not pasting a part number instead of Feature Byte
The code from HP PartSurfer sometimes includes:
Marketing codes
Hardware build IDs
Localization tags
These are not always BIOS Feature Bytes.
3.Enter Feature Byte inside BIOS if supported
Some HP models allow this under:
BIOS → System Configuration → Feature Byte
4.If using tool, run CMD as Administrator
The WMI writer will fail if not executed elevated.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
