I received my HP support email critical driver alert stating a critical driver (SP85516.exe) was available for the BIOS. I downloaded the file and remembered when I was updating my bios a year ago over the HP website going back a long ways through its revision history, installing in a consecutive order of its bios version files, that perhaps I should ask if there is any special way to install this critical driver?  There was with the bios flashing, but is there with this, or can I just open it or do I run as admin or is there a readme that says do it such and such?  The file is version 00.03.06 Rev.A  and so is my present bios version, they match. So can I just double click this critical file open and let it do its thing or what?
