@Henry_s Here's everything you need to know about updating BIOS:

(does not apply for obsolete products older than 4yrs)

 

Download and install updates to the computer BIOS. This process is also known as 'flashing the BIOS'.

   CAUTION: 

Only install BIOS updates from HP. Installing the BIOS incorrectly can prevent the computer from starting or being recovered. If your computer is managed by an IT service, contact them for the correct update process.

Updating the BIOS is recommended as standard maintenance of the computer. It can also help resolve the following issues:

  • An available BIOS update resolves a specific issue or improves computer performance.

  • The current BIOS does not support a hardware component or a Windows upgrade.

  • HP support recommends installing a specific BIOS update.

My desktop is older than 4 years.

is there a third party location you can recommend where I can download the bios?

@Henry_s If you have an HP authorized service center near by, you should be able to take it to them and have it checked,
