Hi,

 

The latest bios is available here.  You can run the bios update while running Windows 7. 

 

  1. Be sure that you back up your data and that you have a set of the HP Recovery Disks.
  2. Be sure that you are the system administrator and are signed in with admin. privileges.
  3. Download the update to your desktop.
  4. Be sure that the battery is fully charged and the PC is plugged into the electrical outlet.
  5. Disconnect the laptop from the internet.
  6. Stop all applications including any background tasks such as virus scans and hard drive compression before you execute the bios update.
  7. Execute the update.
