Most Acer firmware updates are delivered in the form of the Insyde Flash Firmware Tool. If you wish, HPSA can then be uninstalled and HP_TOOLS can be removed in the same way as any other partition.Executable updates for Insyde firmware are easily identified by the application icon and commonly used across many different brands of computers. At restart, the notebook will enter the UEFI environment and the flash will take place - there may be a couple or so restarts after this, but then the notebook will load into Windows. When installed, launch HPSA and get it to check for all available updates - once the list is prepared, enter a checkmark against the Bios Update only and then click Download - when HPSA has downloaded and unpacked the file, you will get a prompt to restart the notebook.

If you still want to proceed with the flash, maybe the easiest option, once you've created the HP_TOOLS partition is to download and install HP Support Assistant from the following link.ĭuring the installation of HPSA, you will be asked how you wish the program to apply updates - choose the option that lets you choose which updates to apply. Regarding the bios installation software, the boxes you mention are populated by the installer, there's nothing you should, or are able, enter here. Personally, if the update doesn't correct a problem you're experiencing or add extra functionality that you require, I would not update the Bios. I have used winflash earlier to update bios on other laptop but i don't understand how to do it on insydeflash.Ĭan someone help me update my bios and also suggest if it's safe to do with insydeflash though latest is good to have? I know updating to latest bios is always good but there are also fine chances to brick my laptop. Then i got little more files than before extracted into the folder and c driver including the flashbios.exe I pressed quit but then i clicked on bios setup again, this time it asked whether to over write files and i clicked on yes. Other buttons i could find are start flash and quit. It asked for current bios version & id and new bios version & id in boxes but i can't type anything.

Now that i have downloaded the bios setup sp 60109, i clicked on it and then came some unpacking and it opened up insyde flash. I downloaded all drivers and also the BIOS.Īs written on website the bios is new f.22 and i checked that my current bios is f.13, this shows that i can update my bios. Hello, i have bought a new HP laptop pavilion g4 2049tx model.
