BIOS update from f.23 to f.60

[AnnamariaP]

I upgraded from WIN7 pro 64 bit to WIN10 64 bit.

I constantly face problems with pc ibernation (doesn't work anymore, even without the fast-boot option activated), bluetooth (disappeared after upgrade) and other (sometime pc freezes and I have to reboot...and similar problems).

Windows experts told me I could solve problems by upgrading to the BIOS version compatible with WIN10.

Currently on pc :  BIOS 68ccu V.23        in WIN10 64 bit

Upgradable to : F.60 Rev.A (30 Nov 2015)         in WIN7 64 bit (because there is no WIN10 option in the drop-down list)

(available at HP drivers&softwares, here)

The problem is that it is not specifically indicated for WIN10, but for WIN7

and from the instructions here, it seems that I have to "select the original operating system that came with your computer" (step 5), which, in my case, was WIN7 32 bit.

I am confused. Should/can I upgrade or not?

Dear Customer,

BIOS update is for the Chipset and doesnt matter if the unit has WIN 7 or WIN 10.

As it says BIOS-Basic Input Output System

The BIOS is a computer chip on the motherboard.

Moreover 8440p was released in the Year 2010 and soon might be discontinued, hence no WIN 8 OR WIN 10 dropdown in the OS list.

We still recommend you to update the unit with latest available BIOS VER for chipset to perform better.

NOTE: If upgrade doesnt happen to Version:F.60 Rev.A, please try to install Version:F.24 (24 Sep 2013) first and then Version:F.50 (8 Jul 2014) and  Version:F.60 Rev.A.
