If I download the latest bios update for my motherboard, will it automatically install?

[bacon4life]

As the title says, I'm downloading a bios update for my motherboard, but HP wants me to download HP install assistant to make it easy to download and install it.

Do I really need it? It takes for ever to get that ready.

So my question is if I don't download the HP install assistant, will the update automatically install to my other board? If it doesn't can you list me the steps on what to do?

Thanks very much!

HP should have instruction on how to install bios manually.
