Hi:

 

Below is the link to the service manual for your dv2601tx notebook.

 

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01295820.pdf

 

The supported processors can be found in chapter 1.

 

The last BIOS update released for your notebook was F.2E

 

This is what it does...

 

- Improves the read performance of SD cards.

 

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp41501-42000/sp41959.exe

 

It was designed to run on Windows Vista, so I have no idea what will happen if you try to run it on W8.1.

 

It could work fine, or it could brick your notebook, making it an expensive paperweight.
