HP Z600 and Windows 11

[Ignacioalm]

Hello, I have a Z600 workstation and firmware updates for the Bios for Windows 11 appear on the web. In theory, Windows 10 says that it is not compatible, but on the other hand HP has 2 bios for Windows 11, and a lot of drivers for W11. Can someone tell me something. Here they appear:

It is a mistake.... HP needs to fix that.  It happened to me also from the US HP drivers site.... detected my OS as W11 but it is W10 21H2.  The latest BIOS is still 3.61 for all operating systems and can be downloaded by selecting W7 from the long list on that HP drivers page... then click on Change to shift to the full page for W7. 

The 3.61 SoftPaq still updates fine from a W10Pro64 workstation IF YOU UPDATE BIOS FROM WITHIN BIOS.  It is quite risky to use an old BIOS updater built for XP and W7 to try a BIOS update from within a W10 operating system.  A number of us have "bricked" otherwise perfect motherboards that way.

So, if you are on BIOS version 3.61 you are fine and be happy with W10Pro64 21H2.

I've posted many times on how to do the BIOS updates from within BIOS here.  Search, and you should be able to find it.  I do admit that the search function of this forum is quite anemic, and can help if you really need it.

also keep in mind that currently windows 11 offers no real innovations over windows 10 as most of the changes at this point are mostly cosmetic and if you use the system for work then I don't recommend installing win 11 on it at this point in time

if you have a second non compatible "z" series model that you want to test win 11 on you can create a win 11 ISO that does not have the CPU/TPM requirements (google is your friend)
