I want to update BIOS from "Software and Drivers" page here. But I didnt see the specific OS version on the dropdown. I provide my windows specification on below. It was written as "Version 25H2", but on the listed dropdown, it doesnt have "25H2". I also provide the screenshot of the dropdown. how to solve this? should I just download the "Windows 11" version? 

 

Edition Windows 11 Home Single Language
Version 25H2
Installed on ‎18/‎02/‎2026
OS build 26200.8655
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.315.0

It's the same file that should work on all versions of W11 including 25H2

so, is it okay to pick anything from the dropdown?

HP Recommended

Yes, and if you are concerned about this, you can always update the BIOS without being in Windows at all.

 

Watch these two videos at the links below for how to make and use the BIOS recovery flash drive to recover or update the BIOS outside of Windows.

The release notes for the file number indicate no specific versions of Windows 11--just Windows 11,

 

There was no such thing as 'Windows 11' 

 

The original release of W11 was 21H2.
