Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I wanted to install windows 11 (my laptop meets all the requirements except UEFI BIOS) so I decided to try to update the BIOS, I used this HP tutorial: https://youtu.be/72uwa0OZPPw the problem occurred when I was about to select a file that matches my motherboard number (time stamp 5:00) (my motherboard number: 8329) (files that I had to choose from: 08328.bin, 0832E.bin, 0832D.bin, 08445.bin, 084D4.bin) no file matches to the number of the motherboard, I don't think I made any mistakes but I can be wrong.

There are two radically different firmware versions -- BIOS and UEFI -- and as far as I know, you can not UPDATE from one to the other.  So, what you are forcing is unlikely to get you what you want.

Thank you for the quick reply, actually, I just wanted to update the BIOS and see the result, but even that didn't workk, but thank you for the information that I cannot update the BIOS to UEFI.
