Probook 4330S
Ubuntu LTS

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 ?
