Windows 10: HP ProBook 430 G2 fails to update from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10

Hi, I am trying to update Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 using MCT. It fails before first restart with a simple message "Updating Windows 10 has failed". I have the content of the Panther folder, where could I upload it? And will someone be able to tell me from that where is the problem? Thank you.David

Is the fingerprint scanner of HP laptops such as the ProBook 430 G2 simply incompatible with current Windows versions?

I recently bought a refurbished HP ProBook 430 G2 in Japan. It feels new and I'm very happy with it.

I believe this model was originally sold with Windows 8 or 8.1 but it had a fresh install of Windows 10 on it when I bought it.

The laptop seems to have a fingerprint scanner below the keyboard, to the right of trackpad.

It doesn't seem to do anything. I can't find it listed in Device Manager. I can find lots of people asking similar questions on various forums but without adequate answers.

I have updated Windows 10 and updated all drivers from the HP website. I have specifically downloaded and run every version of the fingerprint scanner from HP's site that have links posted in the answers in the forums I found on this topic.

Under Sign-in Options / Windows Hello Fingerprint it says "This option is currently unavailable - click to learn more". Clicking does not lead to any solutions though.

My best theory is that Windows Hello is new and requires a specific kind of fingerprint scanner driver that is either not compatible with the sensor hardware on this laptop, or which has not had a Hello-compatible driver released for some reason.

My second theory is that perhaps my laptop has a "blank" where the fingerprint sensor would be and that it was optional and my laptop never had one but I just don't know what it should look like (-:

Hi Jonas,

Thank you for the update.

Have you tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling the Fingerprint driver?

Just to verify, please refer to the following link, choose Windows 10 (64-bit) as the operating system and expand the node
Driver - Keyboard, Mouse an Input Devices. Download and install the Synaptics (Validity) Fingerprint Sensor Driver and check if the issue persists.
