Hi @TRAEDAE2023,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To update the BIOS on your HP Slim Desktop - S01, follow these steps.

Check Current BIOS Version:

• Restart your computer.
• During startup, press Esc or F10 repeatedly to enter the BIOS setup.
• Look for the BIOS version on the main page and note it down.

Download the BIOS Update:

• Go to the HP Support website.
• Enter your computer’s model number (HP Slim Desktop - S01) and search for it.
• Find the BIOS update under the “Drivers & Downloads” section.
• Download the latest BIOS update available.

Prepare for the Update:

• Ensure your computer is plugged into a reliable power source to prevent it from turning off during the update.
• Close all open applications.

Run the BIOS Update:

• Locate the downloaded BIOS update file (usually an .exe file).
• Double-click the file to start the update process.
• Follow the on-screen instructions. The system may restart several times during the process.

Confirm the Update:

• After the computer restarts, you can re-enter the BIOS setup to confirm that the BIOS version has been updated.

If the BIOS update doesn’t initiate or fails, you might need to troubleshoot potential issues.

• Compatibility: Ensure that the BIOS update is compatible with your specific model.
• Corrupted Download: Re-download the BIOS update file in case it was corrupted during the initial download.
• BIOS Recovery: If the update fails, HP provides a BIOS recovery tool that can be accessed by pressing F2 during startup.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
