Hi all,

 

Very simple to fix, just only resize the EFI partition, I recomend to use EaseUS Partition to resize the EFI space, once is resice the system restarts and afther that it can be possible to update the HP BIOS with windows HP Bios update program.

 

EFI Partition always is 100MB in my case I resize to 3.85 GB with a 2TB in a M2 disk.

Thanks, this  does happen occasionally.  Please mark your post as a solution.

 

Some thoughts on BIOS updates but it is my own opinion

 

It is always dangerous to upgrade bios. Unless there is a real need and the HP support assistant requests the upgrade, I would not do it. Look at the BIOS revision history and see if an upgrade is useful. Updates that improve security are needed in a corporate environment but for gaming system they will likely slow down your system.
I personally would not upgrade any gaming BIOS that was only security related unless the PC was used in a corporate, industrial or military organization.  

My advice here, worth about:

HP recommend update BIOS with HP support assistant in all PC´s, in my case I prefer have all my devices with the latest updates including BIOS Updates.

In my case i don´t have enough space so I do this method to expand the EFI partition size in order to update the BIOS and it works, for me is fine.
