Cant install Windows updates because Bios has to be upgraded from what I gather in the error message I received. How can I fix this issue? Tks V~slims

That simply mean you have to update BIOS. Please download and install BIOS from the following link

Something does not seem right. Your other post (you posted twice) states you got the new system 3 days ago.  The latest and only bios as linked by @banhien  is dated May 2021.  Normally HP would have updated the bios by now.

 

I do not recall ever seeing a bios request upgrade from Microsoft but I can learn new things too..  I assume that some other advisor app requested the upgrade.

 

What was the error message?  What Microsoft update fails to install unless the bios is updated?
