    HP has not officially put the new BIOS (1.2) on FTP site for download.
    However I do see 1.20 available for most for the new 600/800 G1.

    How does one search HP's FTP site, or is there a particular location for ZBooks?

    Thanks. That's what I've been doing also.

    The reason I asked is because I've seen people posting lots of stuff from their FTP site in other threads and it wasn't clear to me exactly how they were getting some of the direct links.

    I am hesitant to apply the 1.21 , and wonder why previous versions were not available for download, eve though 1.20 was advertised as available and was not.

    According to HP only these Versions are/were
    Does anyone have an explanation for this discepancy between advertised and not available downloads?

    Then another important fact that you have to read is

    Further information on changes

    I have upgraded my ZBook 15 BIOS from 1.10 to 1.21.

    K2100M VBIOS is updated too based on GPU-Z.

    Have not notice anything unusual.

    I'm using the HP Support Assistant tool to notify me of the latest updates. The last notification I got for the BIOS was 1.10. Which I installed. But no notification for 1.21 yet.

    Thanks, I know. I prefer to use the HP Support Assistant though.
