It's already on windows 11 but the  HP site seems to only  have BIOS updates for windows 10 version and  the last was in 2022. Not sure if I should install that one now...

Usually the W10 BIOS updates will work on W11.

 

I've done it before on other notebook and desktop PC's that had no W11 BIOS update files.

 

Your other option would be to update the BIOS outside of Windows:

 

Make a USB BIOS recovery flash drive with the latest BIOS update from your notebook's support page.
