Bios update

[Giantsfan93]

Hey y'all, I have an older machine here with a bios update from 2012 and I was looking to upgrade my cpu. I upgraded the OS from windows 7 and I was wondering if this update might brick my pc?

Greetings,

Welcome to the forum.

I am not a HP employee.

The only BIOS update available from HP is applicable to Windows 7. I would not try this BIOS update when using Windows 10.

Your PC supports the following processor upgrades, the i7-2600 at 95 watts TDP is the max (Link😞

Core i7-2600 (Sandy Bridge) quad core	95W
Core i7-2600s (Sandy Bridge) quad core	65W
Core i5-2500 (Sandy Bridge) quad core	95W
Core i5-2500s (Sandy Bridge) quad core	65W
Core i5-2500t (Sandy Bridge) quad core	45W
Core i5-2400 (Sandy Bridge) quad core	95W
Core i5-2400s (Sandy Bridge) quad core	65W
Core i5-2390t (Sandy Bridge) quad core	35W
Core i5-2300 (Sandy Bridge) quad core	95W
Core i3-2120 (Sandy Bridge) dual core	65W
Core i3-2100 (Sandy Bridge) dual core	65W
Core i3-2100t (Sandy Bridge) dual core	35W
Core G860 dual core	65W
Core G850 dual core	65W

Be very careful, I just bricked my HP Pavillion by using a BIOS that the HP identification tool said I could use on my computer.
