What do I need to do to update the Secure Boot certificate in my BIOS on my EliteBook 840 G5 Base Model Notebook if the OS isn't listed on the HP support page? My WinVer says I'm running Windows 11 Pro  Version 25H2 ( OS Build 26200.8737) . When I go to select the OS version on the HP support site, that option isn't listed. Somebody, please guide me .

Ensure that your notebook has the latest BIOS update installed that is listed on the support page (01.31.00).

 

If you don't, it is OK to run the BIOS update on W11 25H2, because the BIOS update is good for W10 and W11.

 

See these links for some information for how to update the secure boot certificates:
