BIOS update

[garyheim]

My HP Dashboard indicates there is a BIOS update available.  Is this hard to do on my notebook and what is required?

Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I understand that you want to know how to update the system BIOS.

When a new BIOS update becomes available, HP Support Assistant can update your computer automatically. HP computers with Windows come with HP Support Assistant (HPSA) installed.

1. In Windows, search for and open HP Support Assistant.

   If the app is not installed on your computer, download the latest version from the HP Support Assistant website.

2. On the My devices tab, find your computer, and then click Updates.

3. Click Check for updates and messages to get the latest updates.

4. Wait while the Support Assistant works.

5. If a new BIOS update is available, click the check box next to the BIOS update and any other updates you want to install, and then click Download and install.

6. When HP Support Assistant finishes, close the tool.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

Before I asked about the BIOS update that you answered to, I started to do the update but chicken out because I wasn't sure of what I would need to do during the update.  After reading your reply I went back into HP Support Assistant and clicked on the update to install it but a message came back that it had been removed and everything was up to date.  I looked at the history for updates and it indicates that the Bios Update had been cancelled.  What should I do now?
