Hello,
My wife was given a HP EliteBook 8470p from her office when they changed out their computers.
The laptop is from 2012 with a i7-3520 cpu and 4 gb ram.
It had windows 7 32-bit installed that I now have upgraded to windows 10.
I see it has a x64-based processor and want to upgrade to windows 64-bit version.
The BIOS version is from 12/5/2012 and I don't think much else has been updated for some years,
Is it necessary to update the BIOS before installing the 64-bit version of windows?
I plan to make a clean install and also upgrade to 8gb ram and put in a ssd.
