Unfortunately, your notebook is way outside of its expected life cycle.
What that means for me is that I can't find any information or drivers/software on the official HP websites for your notebook.
At this point I recommend that you do not update the BIOS.The Winflash version of the update is the only one that is likely to work.
It is suggested that you make a backup of the current BIOS version before attempting an update.
If there is a glitch while attempting to update the BIOS, the notebook may become a brick.
You may not want to hear the following, but I would be remiss if I did not state it.
It may be time to source a more modern notebook if your current one no longer suits your needs or desired operating
system.
