Hi:

 

v2.15 is the latest BIOS update for your PC.

 

If you look at the release notes for the previous versions you will see this...

 

NOTE: For HP Compaq Business Desktop dc7100 convertible Minitower and HP Compaq Business Desktop dc7100 Small Form Factor models, this SoftPaq, BIOS Version 1.53, is a web release only and will not replace BIOS Version 1.05 in the factory. For HP Compaq Business Desktop dx6100 Microtower and HP Compaq Business Desktop dx6100 Slimtower models, BIOS Version 1.53 is a new factory release that will be shipped on new models, replacing BIOS version 1.06 in the factory. For HP Compaq Business Desktop dc7100 Ultra-Slim Desktop models, BIOS version 1.53 is the initial shipping BIOS.
