Product: HP ENVY Notebook - m7-n101dx

I Have tried to update my drivers by using the auto detect driver on the HP site. It will not work, so I tried to update manually.  The bios tells me it can't be ran as a legacy and has to be done as a recovery usb. I want to make sure this is how it should be done. I have always just ran the file and it would restart the computer to install it fully. I would feel more confident if the drivers were detected so I know I'm installing the correct bios. The motherboard is an 80DE and is running F.35-03/03/2016 and I was trying to update to the latest 

F.52 Rev.A26.7 MBJul 7, 2019

Here is the driver page.

Latest BIOS is F.52 from 2019. The BIOS really do not have anything to do with drivers and you should be able to upgrade by running the downloaded file directly from Windows. Are you running Windows 10? Sometimes if the jump from where you are to the latest is too big you need to do an intermediate upgrade. If you run into any trouble post back and we will troubleshoot the problem.

If you click on the F.50 version of the BIOS in the download page you can open up prior versions which go back to F.35; your version. I suggest you try one of the intermediate versions and see if it will run from Windows. If not there is a way to unzip the BIOS file to the system partition and do the BIOS upgrade from UEFI environment either from preboot (esc then F2) or from a bootable usb dongle. Let us know if you can upgrade to one of the prior BIOS versions like F.36 or F.44
