If you decide you do want to update your BIOS, please check this HP official article >> https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00042629
Follow the steps.
Use only the latest version of the BIOS, you do not need to apply all updates - just use the latest one

Hello @cerenbjk
Welcome to the HP Support forum. Thank you for choosing HP and for posting here.
I'd like to ask you why you want to update the BIOS ?
Personally, I do not recommend you do it unless you experience some issues with your existing BIOS and you are sure that the new BIOS will fix it.
General recommendation I provide to users/customers is NOT to upgrade BIOS/UEFI unless they experience any kind of specific BIOS/UEFI issue. Updating just for updaing and just for using the latest verson is not solution. Any kind of update (no matter for what and who relesed it) can fix 2 issues but may introduce 10 more issues. Additionally, upgrading the BIOS (for any vendor) poses more risks because BIOS recovery is not that easy as compared to typical software updates IF something goes wrong.
Same applies for Windows Updates, OS update, drivers updates, etc - upgrade/update IF you have issues which you know are fixed in the newer version or for some severe security issues. Otherwise, keep the existing version as long as possible.
