I’d be very surprised if your EliteDesk never got any BIOS updates. In my experience, business grade PCs from the major vendors (Dell/HP/Lenovo) usually have a pretty solid software support lifecycle.

If it’s an EliteDesk G2 Mini, the last BIOS update was released in May 2024.

You're totally right! Small distinction: my unit is smaller than the Mini (a weird in between size), it's the 1-liter-ish DM 35W.

I thought it would be moot, because I vaguely remember HP starting to require support contracts for bios updates. But I guess that only applies to HP Enterprise gear? Yuck, what a pox.
