Hi, I was installing a BIOS update when I noticed a warning. I'm concerned about this sentence, "Updating the TPM firmware while the drive is encrypted will result in data loss.". If I continue the update, will I lose my personal data, like pictures, videos, and documents? I just want to make sure, thank you!

@ElijahHenry,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

I recommend you take a back up of the data you have on the computer before doing the BIOS update. However, usually your data should not be affected when you update the BIOS, but it is always better to take a backup.

Hope that answers your question and you have a great day!
