Elitebook 8540p
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Looking for bios update - but error when I am looking for my elitebook - site can't be found.

 

Can anybody give me the correct adress for bios update for my elitebook (with no errors finding the site)?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that is because there are no HP BIOS updates for your PC.

 

There are three models of that PC and all came with Win7 (or older) preinstalled.  There are no HP win10 drivers for any of the models and no BIOS updates.

 

The problem you're up against is that Microsoft only supplies drivers with the most basic functionality, and what you really need for FULL functionality in laptops is the specialized drivers written for the specific hardware found in laptops -- and unfortunately, there are no HP Win10 drivers for your laptop.

 

This means that your PC is most likely NEVER going to be fully functional under Win10 because the drivers is needs for full functionality simply do not exist! 

 

Good Luck
