why should i update my bios on my ten year old hp notebook 6730s? everything work perfect and bios version is from 2009 (HP 68PZU ver. F.0C. 12.03.2009.)

UPDATE: I saw this notification on HP website today (21 October 2018): We are upgrading our website If you experience errors during this time, please try again later.
