HP Notebook System BIOS Update for Intel

Running a BIOS update on your HP notebook should be done upon recommendation from an official HP document or the tech support team. Whether you want to address hardware or software-related issues, enhance the system's overall performance, or change its configuration, changing the BIOS firmware might be the solution.

It is highly recommended to perform the operation after thorough research. Keep in mind that although BIOS flashing can prove helpful, the wrong update is likely to render the computer unusable or unable to boot, or cause permanent motherboard damage. The same might happen if the update process is interrupted.

Every BIOS update released by HP addresses certain issues known to happen on specific platforms and notebook models. It is mandatory that you download the BIOS update package for your notebook model and operating system version. Doing so requires you to know the product (model) number of your HP notebook (usually written on a sticker on your device) and its processor type (via the System Information application).

The next step is to navigate to the HP downloads webpage and search for your computer model. After selecting the operating system version, all the available BIOS updates should be displayed in the corresponding section. You should download the latest (not run it directly) and run the installer to deploy the new BIOS firmware. For the changes to take effect, a system restart is required. If completed successfully, the BIOS update might solve the issues you were concerned about.
