Hello, I have a question about the chipset driver 5.12.0.38 Rev.C. What does it do? does this make it possible to install an AMD Ryzen processor?

This is what the BIOS  version 02.44 Rev.A does

Fix and enhancements:

- Enhancements to secure boot keys protection.
- HP strongly recommends updating system BIOS to address a potential issue with HP Sure Start that can cause some devices to experience a SecureBoot error at boot.

none of the BIOS updates gave the ability to install Ryzen processors.

Read the revision history in the Details section.

This benchmarking website indicates that there are folks that have installed Ryzen processors in the model series.

The chipset driver would have nothing to do with processor support.

 

The link to the chipset driver explains what it does and not in any detail.

- Provides the updated AMD Chipset driver.

 

I have also attached the official HP Quickspecs for the 705 G3 model series below and HP offered Ryzen processors in the model series.
 
See page 8 for the list of supported AMD Ryzen processors.
