HP Notebook HP-x-116DX
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I just purchased this HP X=116dx f!rom Best Buy. I have setup and everything is fine. I have F20 Bios now.  Should I just delete the suggested utility and bios image update (F22 appA) ? I am not experienced with Bios. I have a good running product now.

 

Suggestions please

Hi,


I would not use HP support assistant software to do any BIOS update.

It has bricked many computers, just go through these forum discussion and you could read their experiences.

You should update BIOS only if:
1. The update fixes a problem with your computer.
2. The update enhances your computer's performance in a desired way.
3. You are planning to change the operating system, processor, or other feature(s), and the current BIOS version will not support the new configuration.
