Window 10 is installing an update and says I need to update the BIOS first - product N9E08UA#ABA
Specific message: HP Pavilion Notebook - BIOS needs to be upgraded before you can upgrade to Windows 10
It says I need to manually uninstall the app because it is incompatible with Windows 10. I've been running Windows 10 since I purchased the notebook over a year ago.

You can download the latest BIOS for your PC here: http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp80001-80500/sp80252.exe
Download + Run the installer and then once the BIOS update has completed you can try running Windows Update again to see if the same error occurs.
