Hi @Randy206 ,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To find and download the correct BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) for your HP ENVY dv7-7333cl Notebook PC, follow these steps:

Visit HP's Official Website: Go to the official HP support website. You can access it by going to HP Support.

Enter Product Details:

• Enter your laptop's model number,  in the search box.
• Select your laptop model from the list that appears.

Go to Drivers and Downloads:

• Look for a section on the website related to drivers and downloads.
• Find the BIOS or Firmware section. It might be listed under "BIOS," "Firmware," or "System BIOS."

Download the Appropriate BIOS Update:

• Locate the latest BIOS update for your laptop model.
• Download the BIOS update file. It is typically a downloadable executable file (.exe).

Create a Bootable USB Drive:

• After downloading the BIOS update file, you may need to create a bootable USB drive to install the BIOS update.
• You can use a tool like Rufus or the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool to create a bootable USB drive.

Copy the BIOS Update to the USB Drive:

• Once the USB drive is ready, copy the downloaded BIOS update file to the root directory of the USB drive.

Backup Important Data:

• Before updating the BIOS, it's essential to back up your important data, as updating the BIOS carries some risk.

Perform the BIOS Update:

• Ensure that your laptop is connected to a power source.
• Insert the USB drive into a USB port on your laptop.
• Restart your laptop and access the BIOS/UEFI settings. You can usually do this by pressing a specific key during the boot process (common keys include Esc, F1, F2, or Del).
• In the BIOS/UEFI settings, look for an option to update or flash the BIOS.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the BIOS update process.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.-
