HP Pavilion A6750Y Bios Update for Windows 7?

Hello, I bought a HP Pavilion A6750Y years that I have been very satisfied.  I have of course updated from Vista to Windows 7, added a video card and I'd really like to upgrade my cpu.  So far, in the Support & drivers for my computer, it lists still my motherboard as being able to run up to a processor AMD Phenom 9950 x 4. I noticed however if I list my OS as Vista 64-bit, then it does in fact appear a BIOS update that would allow the MOBO to exploit some AM3 cpu. It would still work for my computer running Windows 7, or y at - it an update of the BIOS in preparation for Windows 7, otherwise I would really like to make the request. I want to spend my processor to a Phenom 2 x 4 and need my MOBO to support AM3 processors. Thank you in advance.

Hello:

I wouldn't update the BIOS by using Windows 7. There is more than 95% of probability you will make the PC unusable.

HP will release no updates to the BIOS of windows 7 for your PC.

If you want to update the BIOS, your only alternative is to install Vista, updated the BIOS and then reinstall W7.

  • Pavilion Media Center M8400f Bios Update for Windows 7

    HP Pavilion Media Center m8400f. The Vista operating system has been replaced by Windows 7 (64 bit) a number of years.

    I've updated one of my hard drives with a SanDisk SSD (it is now my main drive with the operating system and all my files on board).

    The bios on the PC has never been updated.

    The SanDisk SSD dashboard software will not recognize the SanDisk SSD as the system has designated the SSD as a SCSI device. I need to access the bios for this change to AHCI. The current bios does not support this.

    The PC has a card mother MCP61PM-HM. There is no update for Windows 7 BIOS for that motherboard I know (updates Vista only).

     

    SanDisk gave me a link to http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv-82094-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&... that shows a card mother M2P61PM-HM for m8400f desktop PC. This Bios download supports Windows 7 (64 bit).

    Can update the Bios to download safely a card mother M2P61PM-HM for card mother MCP61PM-HM I currently have?

    Hello

    The HP BIOS update link provided SanDisk is an update of the BIOS of your PC. It is listed under Win Vista 64 bit driver downloads here.

    If you look at the site to download the drivers for your PC you'll only see driver support for Win Vista but on 2010-04-08, Version 5.29, 1.47 M BIOS updatedshows support for Win 7.

    But the problem is this: the BIOS updates must be performed using the PC operating system comes with; in your case, Win Vista. Extreme care must be exercised when updating the BIOS under normal circumstances. I would not classify your situation as usual.

    I saw others download an update of the BIOS for their PC and try to install an operating system upgraded with disastrous effects. The PC was bricked.

    Be prepared for the worst case if you try to install the update to the BIOS.

  • HP Pavilion 17 e040us - updates for Windows - Confusion

    I don't know if I'm in the good topic or not, but I need help with updates for windows.  I got 1 update important and 2 options.

    Title of the important update is "Update for Windows 8 for x 64 based Systems (KB2917499)" which is my system.  I checked on the details, and it took me to an article by HP which has completely confused me.  He talks about Windows 8.1 so I don't know if this has something to do with the update to this version, I want to do.  The address of the site for that article is http://support.mcrosoft.com/kb/2911101. Someone please check this, confirm if it's really for Windows 8.

    The optional update that in my opinion isn't really for Windows 8 and 8.1.  But I would really check, please.

    Web site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2911101.

    The other optional download is for my printer.  Question: why they would say optional when it has something to do with your software, etc.. ?  It does not make sense to me.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    The KB2917499 is for Windows 8:

    jaikvk,

    Go into Device Manager and uninstall the sound and restart the computer. This will reinstall the driver once more.

  • Equium A110 - 276 BIOS update for Windows 7 32 bit

    "Hello everyone, I'd like to update the BIOS on my satellite A110-276 and the two choices are 'OS Independent' and ' Windows Vista 32 bit. I have Windows 7 32 bit on this laptop. If I choose "OS Independent" it tells me ' Bios is NOT compatible for portable computers with Windows Vista! "and if I choose" Windows Vista 32 bit ' he reads "Bios is only compatible for portable computers with Windows Vista!

    Exclamation points are Toshiba, not me ;)

    So I am stuffed and I need to stay with my current BIOS, or can, I use Windows Vista BIOS update?

    Thanks to anyone who can help!

    Hello

    First question; Why do you update the BIOS?
    Do you want to update only to have a newer version?
    If your Windows 7 is working well, then a BIOS update is not necessary.

    Otherwise, install Vista OS to Toshiba Recovery (if available) disk, the BIOS update and then change to Win 7 ;)

  • HP pavilion 15 laptop: update for Windows 10 laptop has removed Bluetooth?

    Product number: F4T58EA #ABU

    After that I updated my windows 8.1 to windows 10 laptop remove bluetooth.

    There is no option in the settings to enable or disable. Nothing to do with bluetooth has completely disapperaed.

    I looked through device controller speaker, but there wasn't anything that had name bluetooths. I also looked through the computer management services and found two bluetooth, Bluetooth Handsfree and service support of Bluetooth services. they were both the value of manual start and weren't running. I started them and implement autostart. It makes no changes to the problem though.

    I think the problem is my bluetooth drivers are outdated and maybe I just need to reinstall drivers. But I don't know what my bluetooth card is. Update of drivers for other hardware has solved one problem with my PC after windows 10 updated.

    It's just the Windows bluetooth service.

    Each PC has this programming if it has bluetooth or not.

    Al, I can tell you, it's that your laptop has never come with BT

    The bios is not dependent on OS. I think that the flash program used to update the bios work correctly under windows 8.1. Before you do the update try to make a backup of your current bios so that you can always come back if you wish. See the image below on how to do the backup and update the bios.

  • Failure of the security update for Windows xp

    , Then they have all the same numbers but automatic updates. I do not know why they do not?  Is my computer in danger? What someone knows something about it?  Can someone let me know, I would really appreciate it.  Thank you :)

    Lower-right, now, I get an exclamation icon, when I click on it, it lets me know that I have updates to install, it goes through the whole procedure, but he then shows how they all failed.  Just today, I had 18 of them.  They are all updated for Windows XP security they all begin with (KB) other numbers are all different. (KB978601), (KB979683), (KB978338), (KB979309), (KB981332), (KB977816), (KB980232) Microsoft Update.

    I would try reinstalling Windows Update Agent Installer first.  Here is a link to the Microsoft site that explains how to do this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949104.   Go to the section how to get the last update agent, as it is already installed.  Scroll down to the section under the information tab, called Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 Service Pack 4.    Choose the one that fits your computer (x 86, x 64, Itanium).  Run this update and follow the instructions.  Windows Update will now be reinstalled, but it's a good idea to restart at this point.  Check if your updates to install.

    Otherwise, you may need to install manually by following the directions below:

    (1) Download Center to visit Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx
    (2) search for each update code that begins with the letters "KB" and followed by a set of numbers (i.e. KB979309)
    3) click on the link for the download and then click on download and run. You must accept the agreement and then click on continue.
    (4) repeat this process for each download of updates Windows could not install.
    (5) run Microsoft update again, and click Find updates.  If all goes well, it will show that you are completely patched.

    It is always better to stay completely patched, as many of them are security-related.  If the solutions above do not work for you, I recommend that you run a full scan on your computer.

  • Update for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB976902) is originally the majority of my X 86 and some current applications for Windows 7 to stop working.

    Original title: Updates

    The last update update for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB976902) is originally the majority of my X 86 and some current applications for Win7 stop working. This includes IE8, MS Office10 and a few others. Whats with THAT! I have updates blocked for now, until the writers get it sorted.

    Hello

    The article mentions that this update cannot be uninstalled. This software update is a prerequisite to install a service pack. In addition, this update improves reliability when you install or remove service packs and updates for Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/976902

    Since you have problems with Internet Explorer 8 and Microsoft Office 2010 after installing the update, I suspect the involvement of a third party software conflict. I would like you to put your machine in aclean boot State in order to eliminate conflicts of third party software.

    Note: Follow step 7 to restart the computer as usual.
