Hello, does anyone has experience updating the laptop 14-ce2016nl on windows 11?

I did it but now the system is not able to start, maybe the issue is th BIOS and I am not able to find BIOS for win 11.

Thanks for help

Hi Kuroi, many thanks fornyou inputs. I tried all the steps suggested, except the window reinstall option, but unfortunately none of them worked and the laptop does not start. In all the cases, when I turn on the laptop, the screen remains black, power button turns on and the led of caps-lock blinks: three times slow and two times faster. I understood from Google that it a signal of corrupted BIOS, but I can't recover it. 

The last option is to reinstall window 10,  and I'd like to ask you how to do it, I have the original recovery disk, can I copy it into a USB? Or do I have to copy it into a Cd?

Many thanks

Hi @LuigiB99,

Thank you for the response.

Try BIOS Recovery

1. Turn off the laptop and connect the charger.
2. Press and hold the Windows + B keys, then press and hold the power button for about 2-3 seconds.
3. Release the power button but keep holding Windows + B for a few more seconds.
4. If the recovery works, you should see an HP BIOS Update screen. Follow the on-screen instructions.

If this doesn’t work, then we move to reinstalling Windows.

Reinstall Windows 10

Since you have the original recovery disk, the best way is to copy it to a USB drive for installation.

Create a Bootable USB from Your Recovery Disk

1. Download & install Rufus on another working computer.
2. Insert a USB (at least 8GB) and open Rufus.
3. Select the Recovery Disk as the source and choose the USB as the target.
4. Click Start, and wait for it to create a bootable USB.

Reinstall Windows using the USB

1. Plug the bootable USB into the laptop.
2. Turn it on and press Esc (or F9) repeatedly to open the Boot Menu.
3. Select your USB drive and press Enter.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to reinstall Windows.
