Hi:

 

The model series was never supported by HP for W10 and it doesn't meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements, so the latest BIOS update available was designed to be run using Windows 7 or Windows 8.

 

I found a version F.45:

Update the BIOS at your own risk.

 

If you don't want to update the BIOS in Windows, you can make a USB BIOS recovery drive:

 

Watch these two videos:
