Cannot Get to BIOS Update - cannot get past diagnostic page

[domer7]

Trying to update MB BIOS prior to upgrading to Windows 10 on an older desktop.  Cannot get past HP's online diagnostic tool to get to recommended BIOS update.

Further info - HP Envy Desktop with Foxconn 2ADA motherboard.  BIOS version says AMI 8.15, 2/5/2013.  Need help determining if BIOS update required before upgrading to Windows 10 and how to get BIOS if I cant get past HP Analytical page,

Thanks for any help.

Thank you for this info.  If I understand, you are recommending to upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 without updating BIOS.

yes you can try
certainly not the same computer, but I went from windows 7 to windows 10, without updating the bios before with this one:

If no choice, then you can update, but I don't think it's an obligation
