Windows Update

[littlelady8]

Hi everyone,

This morning, I decided to check  for updates through the Windows Update and noticed one update was the HP firmware. There is also a picture attached to better understand where I am coming from. The last time when this had happened, my computer attempted to update the BIOS and it screwed my laptop up to the point where I had to send it in to get it repaired. Since my classes are soon to be approaching, I want to prevent that from happening again. So if by chance it is the bios, can I postpone once it goes through the process? I am not sure what to do. Thanks in advance
