Model: HP Laptop 15-fc0016nt (7Q9K8EA) 

 

When I try to update my BIOS from the HP website, I have realized that there are 2 executables listed under BIOS for this device. And both of them refuse to flash both inside Windows and as a recovery USB. I have also tried to execute the .efi file manually with the "boot to file" option; but, it straight up told me that it cannot find the update file. I was under the impression that this task should have been easy from Windows. I have also recognized that the Walpaper on the computer image (on the support webpage) has been modified. What is going on with this computers BIOS page? Is there a way to force a flash with aa 3rd party utility from Windows (or Linux, even better), since the official ones are so useless that it cannot recognize its own hardware.
