Hello Paul_ Tikkanen.

Hope you're doing well.

May I come to ask you some more help.

My children own :

- 1 Pavilion dv7-3010sf 

- 1 Compaq CQ50

- 1 Compaq CQ80

I am told that to run Win10 these notebooks need have the lastest firmwares.

Would you, please, mind telling me where to get them ?

Thank you in advance for your kindness and reply.

Be healthy.

Best regards,

Itsarinya

Hi, Itsarinya:

Here is the link to the latest BIOS update for the dv7-3010sf:

HP Pavilion dv7-3010sf Entertainment Notebook PC Software and Driver Details

For the other two models I need to know the full model numbers because there are a couple of generations of those notebooks.

Note that upgrading to W10 is no longer free and it will be pretty expensive to buy Windows 10 nowadays if you can still even find it for sale.

I don't believe that Microsoft sells W10 anymore and none of those PC's meet the hardware requirements to run W11.

Cheers,

Paul
