I have a HP Pavilion dv5224ea laptop on which I have Windows 7 installed. I recently decided to go to the drivers page at HP.co.za and saw that under Windows Vista Drivers (There are no Windows 7 drivers as HP does not support Windows 7 on my machine) that there was a BIOS update.
Now, do I need bother to update the BIOS? Is there any way to backup/restore the BIOS if the update fails? The one thing is that the driver page says that it only compatable with Windows XP & Windows Vista, does this matter?
EDIT: What will I gain from upgrading? Could I, for instance, get hardware virtualisation or TPM (Trusted Platform Module)?
1Agreed. The risk is bricking the computer to the point of requiring professional assistance. And this is not covered by warranty. – harrymc – 2010-01-18T17:53:01.373
