Possibly it is not at your location, but it is here in USA

Looking at the above revision history, the only BIOS that provided a useful fix was F.21.  All the other BIOS updates were security related.  Starting with F.28, it is not possible to go back to a previous bios if a problem shows up.

 

It is always dangerous to upgrade bios. Unless there is a real need and the HP support assistant requests the upgrade, I would not do it. Look at the BIOS revision history and see if an upgrade is useful. Updates that improve security are needed in a corporate environment but for gaming system they will likely slow down your system.
I personally would not upgrade any gaming BIOS that was only security related unless the PC was used in a corporate, industrial or military organization.

Check your warranty and decided if you want to risk a BIOS upgrade like these users did
