Ik wil sp51245.exe gebruiken om mijn bios van xw4600 te updaten.
Nu staat er dat deze geschikt is voor Win 7 (64)
Ka ik zonderproblemen deze gebruiken voor Windpows 10?
Mijn huidige BIOS is 786F3 v01.17 dd 07/29/2009
Ik hoop dat iemand mij kan helpen

Hi:
sp51245 is not a BIOS update.
It is a microcode update that can only be run in DOS.
Here are the instructions for use.
USB Flash Media Micro Code Flashing in DOS
DOS Flash (flashbin.exe, patch.opt) is the DOS compatible system BIOS flash method that can be used from any DOS bootable storage device. Patch.opt is the required driver for FlashBin.exe. Assign Password (assignpw.exe) can be used with DOS Flash if a Setup Password has been previously set on the target system. To flash the system BIOS Micro Code from a USB storage device, you will need to copy the contents of the DOS Flash folder to a bootable USB drive. To see a more complete description of the DOS flash utilities, view Flashbin.txt located in the DOS Flash folder. To view more information on making a DOS bootable flash media device, view DOSFM.txt in the DOS Flash folder. This folder also contains a binary image of the Micro Code. The binary image file is named UXX_MMmm.bin where "UXX" is the abbreviated BIOS family, "MM" is the major version number, and "mm" is the minor version number.
If you want to update the BIOS, then you need to use sp58068. 01.34 Rev. A Aug 1, 2012

F10 Setup BIOS Flashing
The HP Workstation system supported by this softpaq provides a BIOS upgrade option through F10 setup using the “Flash System ROM” feature. Reboot the PC and press F10 to enter setup. In the File menu, select the “Flash System ROM” item. This flash utility will present the user with the option to select the media containing the BIOS image file (XXX_MMmm.bin). The binary image file is contained in the DOS Flash directory and is named XXX_MMmm.bin where "XXX" is the abbreviated BIOS family, "MM" is the major version number, and "mm" is the minor version number. F10 ROM based flash can accept the binary file from the root directory of any removable media such as USB, legacy floppy diskette, and CD. The BIOS CD Media file, included in this softpaq, should be used to create a BIOS image CD. When flashing with F10 ROM based flash, the CD media must be El-Torito compatible. The user is prompted when the process is completed. The new BIOS code will not take effect until the PC is rebooted.
View Contents of DOS Flash Folder
1. Get a USB flash drive and format it with the FAT 32 file system.
2. Download and run the v01.34 file sp58068.
3. An information page will open that gives several different ways to update the BIOS.
4. Read the instructions listed under the F10 Setup BIOS flashing section. This is the easiest and safest way to update.
5. Copy the contents of the DOS Flash folder to your formatted USB flash drive.
6. Restart the PC, and tap the F10 key at the beginning of the HP welcome screen to get access to the BIOS.
7. Select the File tab>Flash system ROM command.
8. Select the USB flash drive, and the PC should 'see' the BIOS update files.
9. Follow the on screen instructions to update the BIOS.
