Determining if I need to update my BIOS
The HP Support Assistant program that came with my laptop used to update my BIOS along with various other drivers every couple months or so. Now it's quite rare that it ever gives me any updates, even when I check it manually, it reports that everything is up to date.
However, if I go to the HP website and check there, it shows that all kinds of updates are available. My current installed BIOS is from 2014, but the latest version on the HP site is from 2016.
So I'm not sure which source to trust. My laptop was one of "Customize and Buy" models, so maybe the Support Assistant isn't showing any updates because the newer versions aren't compatible with my specific hardware?
My inclination is just to leave it alone, but I always like to keep everything in top shape.
Thanks!
