HP Pavilion 14-bf083no - BIOS update from F.22 (Insyde 2017) to F.47 Rev A . IS IT RECOMMENDED ?

[Beatl3]

In HP Support and Driver Downloads, BIOS F.47 Rev A appears as a possible upgrade for my laptop (however when I click in the "Detect my drivers" button, it does not appear as an update to my current BIOS).

This is a double message and it leaves the question unanswered:

Is F.47 Rev A by HP suitable for HP Pavilion 14-bf083no ?

It it a recommended update?

Or am I better to stick with the old one F.22 by Insyde ?

I recently installed 16 GB of RAM (2x8 GB) and I would like to have the latest BIOS in case that would give some advantage in terms of running efficency.

Hi,

Perhaps I was not clear enough. 

I have done the steps that you prescribe, but there are no updates for the bios there.

However, in the Web Version of drivers and updates, F47 Rev A appears as a choice. I need a responsible answer whether this BIOS version IS appropriate for my machine or NOT. Can you provide such an answer?

Thanks

Hi @Beatl3, 

The recommended updates will be detected by HP Support Assistant. As it is not detected, it may not be the recommended one.

I hope this answers your query.
