Updating bios on HP Pavilion 17-e062sr

[SalomonT]

Hello everyone, I have two questions about the laptop:
1. Because HP has restricted access to drivers, can you help me find the latest version of bios for this laptop?
2. Does the laptop support uefi?
Thank you!

Hi:

The newest BIOS update I can find is F.28.

Info:

Exe:

According to the BIOS info it does support UEFI.

Note that the BIOS update was written to be run using W10 and older operating systems.

If you don't want to update the BIOS in Windows, watch these two videos at the links below for how to make and use the BIOS recovery flash drive to update the BIOS outside of Windows:

Thanks for the quick reply. BIOS has been successfully updated, but now another problem has arisen, the laptop either does not see bluetooth or it is simply not there)
If it is not difficult for you, could you send the driver for bluetooth (if it is present on the laptop) and the driver for wi-fi (rt-3290)
Sorry for bothering you with trifles, there is no other choice)
Thank you

You're very welcome.

Here's the problem...

The Ralink Bluetooth does not work on the newer builds of W10.

Here is the link to the W10 driver but it won't work.

You will have to either replace the Wi-Fi adapter with one that has full support for W10 or use a USB Bluetooth adapter.

This Wi-Fi card may should in your notebook:
