Product: g72t-boo
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Can anyone tell me what the latests BIOS version is for a G72t-boo,   mine is Hewlett-Packard F.47, 2/15/2011, I can't believe that is the latest version. I am running Windows 10 and am having a problem installing the latest MS update.

Updating a BIOS always involves an element of risk, especially when you may not be doing it in a UEFI environment.

 

The download comes directly from a link in the suport page of your notebook and is from an HP server.  The sopftpaq file is a safe one. 

 

The driver download page

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-G72-Notebook-PC-series/4247537/model/4327941

 

So, no I cannot unequivocally state that updating your notebook's BIOS won't render it useless.
