Hi,

 

I would like to check wether the bios should be updated. How can I check the bios version ?

 

I have noticed the Hp system information software through the microsoft store. But the store says that this software is not compatible with my computer...

 

In the meanwhile I have downloaded the update file for BIOS (based on windows 7) but the system blocked its execution.

 

Is it possible to check the BIOS and update it using Windows 10 Pro 64 bit N ?

 

Kind regards.

Hi:

 

Unfortunately, it is not possible.

 

You can only run the BIOS update in W7.

 

There are no DOS files to run it as a bootable file, etc.
