Hope this helps...


The BIOS has a backup copy stored on the HDD/SSD quite often.  

But a new/fresh BIOS may be, perhaps found here....

Hi

To start HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI), follow these steps:

1. Turn on or restart the computer, and quickly press esc.

2. Press f2. The BIOS searches three places for the diagnostic tools, in the following order:
a. Connected USB drive NOTE: To download the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI) tool to a USB drive, see Downloading HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI) to a USB device on page 58.
b. Hard drive
c. BIOS

3. When the diagnostic tool opens, select the type of diagnostic test you want to run, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE: If you need to stop a diagnostic test, press esc.




The diagnostics is several gigabytes, hefty download.
