Hi:

 

You alone will need to make that decision.

 

My general rule of thumb is that I don't update the BIOS unless a BIOS update fixes a problem my notebook is having, or adds support for something I would find useful.

 

Here are the release notes for the various BIOS updates to help you decide what you want to do...

 

Version: F.69 Rev.A

Fixed in this release: - Provides improved security of UEFI code and variables.

Version: F.68 Rev.A
Fixed in this release: - Provides improved security of UEFI code and variables.

NOTE: HP strongly recommends transitioning promptly to this updated BIOS version.
Version: F.67 Rev.A
Fixed in this release: - Provides improved security of UEFI code and variables.

NOTE: HP strongly recommends transitioning promptly to this updated BIOS version.
Version: F.66 Rev.A
Fixed in this release: - Provides improved security of UEFI code and variables. NOTE: HP strongly recommends promptly transitioning to this updated BIOS version which supersedes all previous releases.
Version: F.65 Rev.A
Fixed in this release: - Provides improved security of UEFI code and variables.

NOTE: HP strongly recommends promptly transitioning to this updated BIOS version which supersedes all previous releases.
Version: F.64 Rev.A
Fixed in this release: - Fixes intermittent issue on system running dual hard drives where re-partioning the mSATA drive causes a blue screen event to occur.
