It may be possible to install in windows 10 as follows.  Win11 forces driver signature and 10 does not supposedly.

Browse to c:\swsetup\sp155581 and verify the file 8746F45.exe is there.  If not then download and run that bios application again.

 

Obtain win10 iso from Microsoft on USB. Home or Pro does not matter and install to an 8gb minimum flash drive.

Copy that 8746F45.exe to it.

 

Boot the USB (do not install) and bring up the repair option and select advanced features and then do the command prompt. 

as shown in this video where the author shows how to run SFC.  Just bring up the command prompt.

 

Using the command prompt, look for the file 8746F46.exe and run it.

 

Note that your laptop is currently working.  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.   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
