Hello. I am having trouble finding a working BIOS updater for Windows 7 64 bit for this motherboard. The motherboard is the HP EL820US. I know the latest revision is 1.10a, but I can't install it, because none of the installers support Windows 7 64 Bit. https://support.hp.com/in-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-compaq-dc5100-microtower-pc/454811
I tried all of the operating system downloads, but none of them successfully install on my PC. A message pops up saying that the installer cannot work on my version of Windows. I would also be fine with an image file for the 1.10a BIOS UCODE, as I can just use Rufus to flash the bios with a USB drive, but when I take the UCODE.img file from extracting the installer, the file is corrupted. Any help would be highly appreciated.

And for your question, I want to update the BIOS because newer BIOS versions allow me to put a Pentium D in this system, instead of a Celeron D or a Pentium 4.
If it is your PC, forget about the BIOS update and Pentium D, the MB has Intel 915GV Express chipset, which can only support the Celeron D or Pentium 4 like you said. Sorry.

I have Windows 7, which is why I can't update the BIOS. There are only downloads available for Windows 2000, XP, and Vista 32 bit. This is the problem. If I had Windows XP or Vista, I would be able to install it.
