Hi @Evgeniy44

 

Привет !

 

Thank you for posting in the HP Support forum. Welcome back !

 

 

 

With regards to BIOS : Personally, I do not recommend you do it unless you experience some issues with your existing BIOS and you are sure that the new BIOS will fix it.

 

General recommendation I provide to users/customers is NOT to upgrade BIOS/UEFI unless they experience any kind of specific BIOS/UEFI issue. Updating just for updaing and just for using the latest verson is not solution. Any kind of update (no matter for what and who relesed it) can fix 2 issues but may introduce 10 more issues. Additionally, upgrading the BIOS (for any vendor) poses more risks because BIOS recovery is not that easy as compared to typical software updates IF something goes wrong.  Some other opinion and more info >> https://www.howtogeek.com/136881/htg-explains-do-you-need-to-update-your-computers-bios/

 

Same applies for Windows Updates, OS update, drivers updates, etc - upgrade/update IF you have issues which you know are fixed in the newer version or for some severe security issues. Otherwise, keep the existing version as long as possible.

 

* If you still insist on updating the BIOS - here are the instructions you can follow > https://support.hp.com/ca-en/document/c00042629

 

Drivers and BIOS updates can be downloaded from here >> https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-pavilion-g6-1200-notebook-pc-series/5145704/mode...

Windows 10 is not supported (officially) for drivers or BIOS updates. It may work but is not supported officially.

 

Hope this helps. Please, provide your feedback and reply
