Hi @screename1231,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If you're having trouble with the BIOS recovery on your HP laptop, here are some steps you can try.

Verify BIOS Version: Ensure that you're trying to recover with the correct BIOS version for your laptop model. HP's support website usually provides the necessary BIOS files.

Download from Official HP Site: Go to the official HP support website for your laptop model. Look for the BIOS section and download the latest BIOS update available. Make sure to follow any specific instructions provided.

Prepare USB Drive: Typically, BIOS recovery involves copying the BIOS file to a USB drive formatted with FAT32. Ensure the USB drive is empty and has enough space.

Perform BIOS Recovery:

• Insert the USB drive into your laptop.
• Power on your laptop and immediately press the BIOS key (often F2, F10, ESC, or Del) to enter BIOS setup.
• Navigate to the BIOS recovery section. The exact location and name may vary ('BIOS Recovery', 'Emergency BIOS Recovery', etc.).
• Follow the on-screen instructions to initiate the recovery process. It usually involves selecting the BIOS file from the USB drive.

Power and Connectivity: Ensure your laptop is connected to a stable power source throughout the recovery process to avoid any interruptions.

By following these steps, you should be able to recover or update your HP laptop's BIOS successfully.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
