Hello, can anyone help me? 😭 My laptop screen stck in HP BIOS UPDATE without any progress, it's been 3 hours still 0% huhu

My HP laptop model: hp 15-fc0261au

Context: I am building a NAS with this hardware. All hardware decisions are based on that.

I got an HP Omen ‘gaming’ PC for cheap a few weeks ago ($20) with an i5 6600 in a nice case. I got 4 sticks of 8gb DDR4 for $15. I found an i5 7400t for $20-this is a low TDP processor, but more importantly the 7th gen cpu does video encoding/transcoding MUCH better due to its embedded GPU architecture. They are both socket 1151, and all information I have found says they should be able to run on this chipset. I can certainly run the NAS with the 6600, but this is not a challenge. I put the 7400t in the socket with new paste, powered on and it took forever just to get to BIOS. Like a refresh rate under 1 frame a second. Ok it needs a BIOS update. Here’s where it gets annoying. If you don’t have the factory partitions for UEFI/BIOS stuff, they really don’t want you touching it. I’ve downloaded their files. Tried to run the BIOS updater in windows 11 (installed just to do BIOS updating) and it’s giving errors. Tried their tool to create a flash drive to ‘solve problems outside of the OS’ only it doesn’t boot and as a tool is useless. I just want to install a newer CPU with better GPU transcoding abilities. That runs cooler since it’s only 35w. Does anyone have any insight about how to work around this nonsense? Thanks
