Bios update
03-15-2019 12:25 AM

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.
