Why are you even trying to update the bios? Is everything working correctly? If it is then leave it alone.

windows is blocking the graphic card code 43 Therefore, I think that updating the BIOS version will solve the problem

Code 43 means try updating the driver. Has nothing to do with windows blocking it. If you still get code 43 then it's most likely a failing video hardware.

If Lenovo says a BIOS is for windows 7 and it isn’t available for windows 10 then don’t try to update the BIOS. Windows 10 doesn’t need the update

Windows 10 doesn’t need the update

Not necessarily. This system is just so old that support for it ended before windows 10 came out most likely.
