Hi:

 

I'm not sure it is worth taking the risk of updating the BIOS when running W11, since the BIOS updates were written to be run on Windows Vista or Windows 7.

 

It may work fine, or you may wind up with a doorstop on your hands.

 

But I'll leave that up to you.

 

HP retired support for that model PC since it is more than 10 years old, but here is the last BIOS update (v6.07) which is available from this reputable 3d party driver website.
