HPQFlash is not an option for flashing the most current BIOS Upgrade, why?

 

The two prior BIOS upgrades did.

 

I am comfortable with HPQFlash in the Windows enviorment.

 

The other options scare me.

Hi:

 

BIOS v00.03.06 Rev.A from February 22, 2018 is the latest release.

 

I explored the file and see the HPQ flash option in the file folder.

 

I am the exact opposite of you.

 

The HPQ flash method scares me. 

 

I use the F10 Setup BIOS flash method exclusively, because it is easy to do and IMO, the safest way to update the BIOS.

 

Are you looking at the 5.03 file?

 

That is not a BIOS update, and it can't be run in Windows.

 

This is what that update does...

 

This package contains the Replicated Setup and POST Image Flash BIOS support utilities for supported desktop models running a supported operating system. The Replicated Setup utility enables system settings to be ''replicated'' throughout an enterprise.
