Hi. Follow these:

To find and download the BIOS updates for your computer, find the specific product number on your computer and follow these steps:

Go to the HP Software & Driver Downloads page here

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareRedirector?cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5359752&docname=c00042629

If the Software & Driver Downloads page opens, asking for your operating system, proceed to Step 3 below.
If the HP Customer Care page opens, asking for your product number, follow these steps:
Figure 3: Enter your product number

Enter the product number, and then click Go.
For help finding the product number, refer to the HP support document, How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number - here

https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-ENVY-m6-Notebook-PC-series/5330543/model/5359753/document/c00033108

If necessary, select your product from the list.

On the page for your computer model, click Drivers.
Figure 4: Support links

Proceed to step 3.

Select the operating system (such as Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)) that is being used on your computer and then click Next.
NOTE:
If the operating system that you need is not listed, updates for your computer are not available from HP at this time.
Figure 5: Select your operating system

The Web page lists the available updates for your computer.

If a BIOS category is listed, select BIOS.

If a BIOS category is not listed on the Web page, the original BIOS version already on the computer might be the latest available.

If the update is newer than your current BIOS version, choose the correct download for your processor and follow the on-screen instructions.

If the version of the listed BIOS is the same or older than the current BIOS on the computer, you may exit this procedure. The computer does not require a BIOS update at this time.
Figure 6: BIOS category link

Click the name of the BIOS update to go to the Download options and information page.
It is important to read the Description and Compatibility sections to verify that the BIOS update applies to your computer. Installing a BIOS that is not designed for the processor or operating system in your computer could cause the computer to stop working.
Figure 7: BIOS information and Download link

Click Download, and when prompted, click Save to save the file on your desktop. Do not select the option to Run a BIOS update over the network.
Figure 8: Save the BIOS file

The latest version of the BIOS for the computer is now saved to the computer. Continue to the next section to install the BIOS update.
