Compaq 8200 elite
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I'm have a heck of a time downloading the updated bios to take advantage of this i7-2600 I have laying around. I can't even find any bios through the website, and when I do find a link in the forum it doesn't seem to work. Anyone else having this issue or just me?

Hello
before we give you a link, you need the exact computer model, with product number P / N
The bios might be different depending on the model, and you may be looking for an older version
I took for example this model

HP Compaq 8200 Elite All-in-One PC

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-compaq-8200-elite-all-in-one-pc/5078590


there are two versions available and one in old versions, is not the same!
you say BIOS v02.28
but here it is: ROM Firmware for HP Compaq 8200 Elite AiO PC (J10) 00.02.18 Rev.A

or this model

HP Compaq 8200 Elite Microtower PC

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-compaq-8200-elite-microtower-pc/5037940
ROM Firmware for 8200 Elite and 6200 Pro Business PCs (J01)
v02.28 Rev. A
