Hi, yesterday i tried updating my BIOS f.09 to f.50, but it failed, luckily i managed to recover it with an USB from another computer, i checked the log and it said "Device error" i assumed my laptop was too old for that update. Now i want to have a backup BIOS in my hard drive, i formated my pc so i dont have the fabric partitions anymore, but i downloaded hp pc diagnostic uefi and it created an HP folder in EFI partition with also a BIOS folder, but the "Current" folder is empty. Can i download my bios image(f.09) and copy it to this folder, and it would be like a backup in case my bios gets corrupted and it tries recovering itself?
(sorry for my grammar)
