Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

 

Am not able to perform BIOS update, notebok came with windows 7, I upgraded it to Windows 10.
When I try to update the BIOS.exe file downloaded from HP support website, I get error for Mountvol.exe few times and then it says BIOS update failed, also tried with usb option provided in that exe file, but it didnt not work.

 

BIOS is legacy, non UEFI

 

Will be happy to get a help.

 

Thank you

@DVortex, thank you so much for the reply and procedure  to access the BIOS page, I have updated it via USB as I do not have that recovery partition and perhaps the reason I was gettign error for Mountvol.exe 

 

Many thanks 🙂
