Hello everyone!
Does anybody knows when will be a BIOS release for Intel Optane support?
HP Pavilion Power 15-cb0xx have the HM175 Chipset which is compatible with Optane.
A welcome feature.
Thank You!

I do not think a BIOS update will help a CPU that does not support IOM.
And if there could be a BIOS update for that it would have to come from Intel.
Intel® Core™ i7-7700HQ Processor:
No Intel® Optane™ Memory Support:
Now for the Intel® Core™ i7-7700 Processor:
Intel® Optane™ Memory Supported.

Welcome to the HP Support Community @mjnesteves
The BIOS is just part of the prerequisite to install an Intel Optane SSD.
What CPU do you have installed???

My laptop has a Kaby Lake i7 7700HQ.
The Installation Guide for Optane v2 say that the technology is available for the Kaby Lake architecture with the HM175 Chipset and RST with version 15.5+.
So, the hardware is available, the software is too, but, according with some other users in this forum, is missing a BIOS update to support this. My computer has F.17 Rev.A BIOS.
Thank you!
