Downloading a BIOS update

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the tablet or an unsuccessful installation, download and install a BIOS update only when the tablet is connected to reliable external power using the AC adapter. Do not download or install a BIOS update while the tablet is running on battery power, docked in an optional docking device, or connected to an optional power source. During the download and installation, follow these instructions:

Do not disconnect power on the tablet by unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet.

Do not shut down the tablet or initiate Sleep.

Do not insert, remove, connect, or disconnect any device, cable, or cord.

1.To access HP Support Assistant on the Start screen, tap the HP Support Assistant app.

2.Tap Updates and tune-ups, and then tap Check for HP updates now.

3.Follow the on-screen instructions.

4.At the download area, follow these steps:

a.Identify the most recent BIOS update and compare it to the BIOS version currently installed on your tablet. Make a note of the date, name, or other identifier. You may need this information to locate the update later, after it has been downloaded to your hard drive.

b.Follow the on-screen instructions to download your selection to the hard drive.

If the update is more recent than your BIOS, make a note of the path to the location on your hard drive where the BIOS update is downloaded. You will need to access this path when you are ready to install the update.

NOTE: If you connect your tablet to a network, consult the network administrator before installing any software updates, especially system BIOS updates.

BIOS installation procedures vary. Follow any instructions that are revealed on the screen after the download is complete. If no instructions are revealed, follow these steps:

1.Swipe from the right edge of the touch screen, tap Search, and then tap the search box. Type file, and then tap File Explorer.

2.Select your hard drive designation. The hard drive designation is typically Local Disk (C:).

3.Using the hard drive path you recorded earlier, open the folder on your hard drive that contains the update.

4.Double-tap the file that has an .exe extension (for example, filename.exe). The BIOS installation begins.

5.Complete the installation by following the on-screen instructions.

NOTE: After a message on the screen reports a successful installation, you can delete the downloaded file from your hard drive.

Using HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI)

HP PC Hardware Diagnostics is a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) that allows you to run diagnostic tests to determine if the computer hardware is functioning properly. The tool runs outside of the operating system to isolate hardware failures from issues that may be caused by the operating system or other software components.
