Hi,

I'm looking for drivers for that old notebook, specifically I need the Bios Firmware update, the actual version is very old (F.34 08/12/2010).

 

The problem is that my pc is older than 10 years, so HP doesn't support it anymore... that's comprensibile, but... WHY, WHY, WHY they completely removed the older versions of drivers and firmware released until now ????

 

Sorry but I really don't understand that choice... can someone help me? please tell me that I'm wrong and that page on HP website already exist =))

 

Thank you for you support 😃

Hi:

 

I have some good news and some bad news...

 

First the bad news...you are correct. 

 

HP retires support for all consumer class PC's once they reach 10 years of age, and they do it without warning.

 

The good news is that BIOS vF.34 was the last BIOS update released for that model series, so even if there was a driver page, you would only find that version or older ones on it.
