I got a friends-and-family return-from-lease HP 8100 workstation.  No RAM, no disk, just the basic workstation.  I am trying to install Windows 10, but I\u2019m having issues with the OS install failing.  HP notes point to an out-of-date BIOS.  The challenge is how to update the BIOS when you have no OS installed.<\/p>\n

      1. \n
        1. Download the BIOS update (EXE file) from the HP site.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
      2. \n
        2. Extract the ISO file from the EXE using 7-Zip<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
      3. \n
        3. Burn the ISO to a CD (and put CD in the CD\/DVD drive)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
      4. \n
        4. Boot the system, press F10, select Update BIOS, point to the CD.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      5. \n
        This wasn\u2019t obvious, nor was it documented *anywhere* on the HP site.  Lots of references to pre-2002 HP tools and the like.  I hope someone finds this useful.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
