Looking at erasing the Kubuntu 20.04 and installing Win 8.1 Pro. If I look at https://support.hp.com/au-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-probook-4330s-notebook-pc/5045444 , there are quite a few driver updates. But how does one tell what the current versions are, given that the OS is Kubuntu ? I can look at BIOS of course; are the other driver information contained in the BIOS/setup somewhere please ?

It seems there are a number of commands to display the BIOS - from https://askubuntu.com/questions/832464/is-it-possible-to-check-the-bios-version-of-my-computer-on-ub... and

sudo dmidecode 3.2
sudo dmidecode | grep 'Vendor\|Version: V\|BIOS Revision\|Processor'
sudo dmidecode | less
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version
sudo dmidecode -t 0
sudo dmidecode -t 0 | grep 'Version:'
sudo lshw | grep -A8 '*-firmware'
I ran the command "lshw" and for the BIOS:
physical id: a
version: 68SRR Ver. F.60
date 03/13/2015
yet from https://support.hp.com/au-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-probook-4330s-notebook-pc/5045444 , the latest is F.07 , dated April 21, 2011 ? Am I to assume the information on that HP link above is not current ?
