520-1020a
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Does anyone know if there is a bios update for the 520-1020a? Or more specifically, the Pegatron 2ACB motherboard? I'm running version 7.07 at the minute and I was wondering if anyone knows about one out there. Just tell me if there's any more info needed to solve this

Hello
you confirm that it is this model?

https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-touchsmart-520-1000-desktop-pc-series/5146296/model/5149311/...


the SSID is not registered

If so, there is an update, but only on windows 7
indicated

It cannot be said that it will work if you have installed another version of windows
In the past, I have told users to install the update for windows 8 with windows 10
just right click run as administrator
can't say it works for everyone
It would therefore be necessary to reinstall under Windows 7, not very practical
unless it is possible to create an installation usb key

Updating the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) (Windows)
in any case, you have a risk
Do you really need this update, to take the risk ...

The reason I’m looking for a bios update is that I have a couple of issues with the PC: Even though it says that I’m running UEFI firmware, I can’t boot into the firmware settings. So I can’t tell if I can utilise secure boot or if I have any sort of TPM at all. (Not that I’m looking to run windows 11 or anything I just think it’d be nice to know.) The bios menu is out of date too. The tutorials that I find have a more up to date looking one.  (It’s from 2011. If that does anything) I also really don’t want to go back to anything below windows 10.

 

I noticed that the link you provide had a different motherboard specified. Would that matter at all?

Be careful, this is not because you are going to try to update the bios, that this will solve all your problems.

For the motherboard remark, I don't understand what you mean
from what you have indicated you should have this model

HP TouchSmart 520-1020a Desktop PC Product Specifications
and the motherboard this

Angelino2-SB motherboard specifications.

Product number QU225AA

is it this ?
