Pavilion dv7
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

My laptop is a DV7-4272US Product id XZ293UAR#ABA.  It has windows 7 64-bit running on it.  The bios is corrupt and since I've replaced the harddrive, recovery using the keyboard key press doesn't work.  I obtained a bios file but when I try to run it I to make a recovery usb, I get this error: IHISI: Get support mode fail in Smi.

                                                                           Bios did not support InsydeFlash.

I'm running this on a Pavilion desktop computer that has Windows 10.  Like my laptop, the harddrive has been

replaced.  

What can I do to solve this?
