I am unable to update my BIOS due to insufficient free diskspace message.

[Chris_E_Myers]

When running the suggested BIOS upgrade (SP144386 - version F:09) as administrator, I get the above message (It would be nice to know what space it requires and where?). I have about 90% of my drive free (using NAS storage rather than local storage for most of my files).  Is this a need to change partition sizes (I think both the EFI system and Recovery Partitions are both at 90+% capacity) - if so how as EFI does not seem expandable?  I also notice that my laptop is still running BIOS F:07 is this also an issue (i.e. should I update to F:08 first - I tried this and get the same error)?

I already have 3rd party tools doing these activities and run them regularly. I have recently installed the BIOS update from USB (with help from HP in Tunisia) but you miss the point. Why, when I have 90% of a 1Tb drive empty, does it report no disk space even after these tools are run?
