HP Pavilion - 15-bc400na
Microsoft Windows 11

My laptop is a HP pavillion bc400na that is apparently optane compatible. Ive installed the drive to the laptop. Installed the drivers for 8th gen and installed the Intel memory and storage management app. It is not recognising it as optane (just pcie ssd) and also says "there is no valid disk pairs in your system". Looking solution and use it as cache for the HDD. I also cannot update anything in BIOS regarding Intel optane.

I don't know what the Intel memory and storage management app is.

 

The only suggestion I can offer would be to install the W11 version of the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver which is what you want to enable Intel Optane memory.

 

17.11.3.1010

 

sp144911.exe

 

See this link for how to configure the software for Intel Optane:

Hi this is the same software I mentioned. I downloaded and installed it again. Same issue.

HP Recommended

Unfortunately, I wouldn't know what the problem is if that's the software that you installed. 

 

Me, I would have removed the 2.5" drive and installed a Crucial P3 M 2 NVMe SSD as some other owners of 15-bc4xx notebooks have done.

Fair enough. Thank you anyway. Just one more thing, is there anyway to update my bios with windows 11? I feel like this is my last ditch hope to fix this issue.

HP Recommended

You're very welcome.

 

There are two ways to update the BIOS in W11.

 

You can take your chances and run the W10 update in W11.

 

I have done that on several notebooks but not your model.

 

I've never had an issue but I can't guarantee you would have the same outcome.

 

The other way is probably the safest way to do it:

 

Watch these two videos:

Looking at the support page, this is the latest BIOS update HP has for your notebook:
