Where can one download the latest UEFI release (F.45) for the HP 15-f387wm?

[IslandGetaway]

I previously created a topic regarding the absence of drivers and software for the HP 15-f387wm, and another member wrote that a BIOS file is needed. The member is requesting the latest UEFI release for this model.

The latest UEFI release for the HP 15-f387wm is the F.45 release by American Megatrends (dated June 11, 2020). Where can the SoftPaq for this release be downloaded (or what is the SoftPaq number for this release)?

Visit the HP Support Website:

I appreciate your reply, but the steps you provided did not provide the F.45 UEFI release for the HP 15-f387wm (in fact, the resource you suggested does not even provide drivers or software for the HP 15-f387wm).

Regarding the SoftPaq number, that alone would be helpful, but the steps here did not help.
