Hello everyone! I kindly asked for information: to update the bios (I have an HP DESKTOP Pavilion 500-519nl PC) can I run the exe file directly, or is it better to extract it and do it with the USB pendrive? Thanks, Giuseppe.

The BIOS updates that HP distributes are self-extracting archive files, meaning, you double-click them to run them.

 

Once the files have been extracted, the updater will launch for you to continue.
