HP Sprout Maintenance & Service Guide

Updating the BIOS
Updated versions of the BIOS may be available on the HP website.
Most BIOS updates on the HP website are packaged in compressed files called SoftPaqs.
Some download packages contain a file named Readme.txt, which contains information regarding installing
and troubleshooting the file.
Determining the BIOS version
To determine whether available BIOS updates contain later BIOS versions than the one currently installed on
the computer, you need to know the version of the system BIOS that is installed.
BIOS version information (also known as ROM date and System BIOS) can be revealed by pressing fn+esc (if
you are already in Windows) or by using Setup Utility (BIOS).
1. Start Setup Utility (BIOS).
2. Use the arrow keys to select File, select System Information, and then make note of your BIOS version.
To exit Setup Utility (BIOS):
1. Use the arrow keys to select Ignore Changes and Exit, and then press enter.
2. Select Yes.
