I Can't find my BIOS update on the hp website.

[Travis178]

Hello, I have an older HP Envy 700-329 and the last time my BIOS was updated was in 2014. My performance is seriously lacking and I am trying to remedy the issue. I can't however, seem to find my appropriate BIOS update on the HP website. HP support assistant isn't telling me I need any updates but I find it hard to believe that in the last 6 years there hasn't been an update for my BIOS.

Hopefully one of these documents will cover (and solve) your problem...

If you get an SP76898 folder created on C:  then that is a backup for later use and should be left intact.

Make a USB flash drive if you can to boot from.
