Hi, I have recently been trying to upgrade my BIOS since my last updated BIOS is dated 2016. However I cannot upgrade even when I downloaded the required drivers. Request an HP official to guide my step by step.
P.S. I tried to update it through both the BIOS update client for Windows and th BIOS itself. Client said BIOS update was unsupported which was weird since I got the driver after they recommended it after detecting my PC model and BIOS method requires ethernet connection which can't be arranged.

Checking the support page for the BIOS, I found the latest to be this:
The install instructions are listed as:
1. Download the file by clicking the Download or Obtain Software button and saving the file to a folder on your hard drive (make a note of the folder where the downloaded file is saved).
2. Double-click the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions.
You might want to disable McAfee until the update has finished, in case it is causing problems.
