Hello;

Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

 

BIOS and UEFI are two different kinds of firmware -- and a chip is "burned" (programmed) with one or the other.

 

To do what you want, you would need the following:

1) BIOS/UEFI chip "burner" -- specialized piece of hardware

2) UEFI firmware code from HP in a form that the burner can use

 

I'm guessing you do NOT have the first.

 

And, HP does not provide the second; instead, they provide BIOS/UEFI updates in softpaq form -- which are self-extracting executables designed to be run in Windows.

 

So basically, that can not be done (as far as I know).
