I tried updating the bios using the older hp bios update and it appears to have bricked my pc. Is there a way to go back. I tried using the windows key and the b key but nothing.

HP support video for bios recovery

Click here to see how to recover your BIOS.
Do 1, 2, and the first part of 3.
For the second part of 3 you will need a USB flash drive and possibly an
older BIOS if the recent BIOS caused the problem

For laptops, step 2 "CMOS reset" there is no cmos battery nor cmos switch and no need to open the laptop. Use the Windows key + 'v' as explained here.
