Hi, I have an older laptop that has never had the BIOS updated. When searching on Software Drivers and Downloads on the HP website it says there is no BIOS Update available. I find this hard to believe since this is a 2012 or 2013 laptop. How can I find any BIOS update available?
HP Pavilion g7 Notebook PC
Product number: B5R83UAR#ABL
Current BIOS: F.09 - 05/31/2012
Thanks for any help!

Hi:
No g7's were supported by HP for W10, which is why you don't see any BIOS updates.
The last update released for your notebook was F.27 with a release date of Sep 12, 2016.
That update can be found under the Windows 8 driver section.
Since the file was written to be run in W8, I would advise against updating the BIOS since you are running W10.
No telling what may happen. It may work fine, or it may turn your notebook into an expensive paperweight.
