Product: OMEN by HP 15t-dc100 CTO
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I'm trying to make a boot drive for my computer,  and just in case something goes wrong with it, I want to make a BIOS recovery drive before I try it. The only problem is that I'm running Windows 11, and when I look for the BIOS download file in the drivers and software HP support site, it won't let me choose Windows 11 operating system. It also says both that if the OS isn't listed then I need to find drivers somewhere else, and that I need to not download or use BIOS from anyone but HP. Is there somewhere else I can use this file? Here's the tutorial I was trying to use to make the BIOS recovery drive - https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/ish_3932413-2337994-16

 

Alternately, can I use the BIOS from Windows 10 20H2 that I was running before I upgraded to Windows 11? Would that potentially cause problems? I also made a Windows recovery drive to back-up system files. I doubt it, but would that include a BIOS recovery too?

 

Here's the tutorial I was trying to use to make the BIOS recovery drive - https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/ish_3932413-2337994-16

Here's the tutorual I used for the windows recovery drive  https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-a-recovery-drive-abb4691b-5324-6d4a-8766-73fab304... 

any help would be much appreciated!
