@HCSInfo,

 

The space the error is referring to is actually the free space in the EFI partition system (ESP).

 

If your notebook still has a factory-installed storage dive, it has a 260 MB ESP by default, which stores critical Windows boot system files as well as HP Hardware Diagnostics UEFI utility and BIOS update utility files. The ESP may also store current and previous BIOS files.

 

When you tried to update BIOS, the BIOS update utility in the ESP was used, but apparently the ESP just didn't have enough free space for the utility to perform the update with, thus the error popped up.

 

You may be able to delete some BIOS files stored in the ESP to free up space. See this thread for how to do it.

Thanks for reply but the system is not a factory installed.

I've install a fresh windows 11 - 24h2 without hp recovery but directly on USB...

This is not a space problem on the partition...
