Welcome to our HP community forum!

 

The most recent BIOS update for your HP Laptop 15-ef2xxx is F.32 Rev.A, released on November 7th, 2023:

Mind you, this is for Windows 10/11 based platforms.

Thank you for the reply. I was able to enter my serial number somewhere on the HP site and learn that what I own is HP Laptop 15-ef2033dx (872L1UA). I will be switching to Opensuse Tumbleweed Linux next month. As I do, I will reload Windows temporarily and do the firmware updates. It is too bad that the firmware cannot be updated over the Internet directly from the BIOS menus. I don't want to keep a Windows partition just to do firmware updates. I really find Windows obtrusive to my productivity,
