Have the same problem as some other HP users: Windows 10 updates does not run because of error message "HP Pavilion Notebook - Bios needs to be upgraded before you can upgrade to Windows 10".
As I learned from similar questions it's a problem of AMD update.
Where can I find the instruction how to act with my laptop?
Product ID is; 00325-95949-14726-AAOEM
Hope for help.

Hi,
You need to run the setup you downloaded as administrator. Right-click on setup file and run as administrator. Once you have installed and rebooted you can wait until Windows tries to install the updated version and it should no longer give error. You can also force the update to take place by going to Microsoft page and clicking on update now.

Ok.
You need to download and install this BIOS update before you can upgrade/update Windows 10
Hope it helps,
