Hello
in order to be able to navigate to the correct bios, we need the exact model of the computer.
please give the product number:
HP Desktop PCs - How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? | HP® Customer Support
A particular reason for this update?
I ask, because it can be risky, and a bios update does not solve all the problems!

my bios is outdated, and need the latest for this model, I currently have 5.04 and checked the latest at least which I was told is 5.07, the reasons for upgrading is that I have a Windows insider as operating system in this computer and it can not update the latest windows update due to the bios according to windows is obsolete, by checking here and there I could see that dte there is a newer version, and hope that with it you can fix the problem with the updates.

when we indicate the product number :
https://support.hp.com/us-en/retired-products
the computer is too old, there are no more updates available
But updating the bios probably would not have improved this problem

from what i found the motherboard would be
A8M2N-LA ( but there are different versions)
and the corresponding file would be:
http://whp-aus2.cold.extweb.hp.com/pub/softlib/software9/COL20754/pv-54579-1/sp35159.exe
I cannot say if it is the right one, and if it is 32 bits
I don't know if it's worth taking the risk of you seeing
[edit]
i download it and :

Sorry, I was not clear
you will not find a 64 bit version given the age of the computer.
The best you can do, if you absolutely need to install it, would be to either find a hack, in order to install it without being on windows.
For example with a usb key if it is possible
Otherwise at least risk temporarily installing a 32-bit vista version
