@sekanodseke -- you must have downloaded an incorrect update, and the error-message is generated to protect you from installing it, and really mucking-up your computer.

Hi,

I make search and download files via SN and give me only one/this bios file.

So maybe it is wrong..i dont know. But how can i download the right files?

@sekanodseke -- what is the hyperlink that you used to download the BIOS Update?

Did you see: HP Compaq Elite 8300 All-in-One PC Base Model Software and Driver Downloads | HP® Customer Support

to download the correct BIOS Update?

By the way, what problem are you trying to solve, and why do you think that any BIOS Update will solve your problem?  If your computer is running correctly without the update, I would NOT try any update.

No..i have this model:

My rom is 2012...i install ssd disk but dont have boot option for this disk. So for this I thought to try update the bios to solve this issue?

To make the SSD "bootable", just enter BIOS SETUP, and add the SSD to the top of the list of "bootable" disk-drives.  You do NOT need to update the BIOS to do this.

@sekanodseke -- no, i have this model.

Except for the shape of the computer's case, and the presence of the monitor, those two web-pages are very similar, if you compare the list of updates offered on each page.
