Hi!

 

I want to reload the bios of my laptop. On the support page there is no update available, so I need to find the original bios. The version I have now is F.12.

 

Where can I find it???

 

It is an old laptop, 2012, AMD A6-4400M

 

Product number C2N47UA#ABA

 

Thanks!

Hi:

 

The BIOS version you have now is older than any of the ones you can get from the support page.

 

HP Pavilion g6-2249wm Notebook PC Software and Driver Downloads | HP® Customer Support

 

The oldest BIOS you can download is F.14 and you can find the BIOS updates under the W8 driver section of the support page.

 

I have no idea what will happen if you run any of the BIOS update files on W8.1.

I want to install windows 10 anyway. It should be compatible with windows 8.1.

When I go to my laptop support page, it offers only the F2A, not the F16. Can you provide a link to it, or something to allow me to get it?

Sorry, I just found F14 going through the detailed description of the driver.
