Hi:

 

This is the latest Windows based flash BIOS version for your PC:

 

F.20

 

HP EliteBook 8730w Mobile Workstation Software and Driver Details

 

The two older F.12 versions are installed using different methods -- FreeDOS bootable media, and the other method is normally only done in a corporate environment.

 

F.0A appears to be the original BIOS version your notebook came with because the oldest one available on the support page is F.0F.
