i want to upgrade to windows 8

i have bios 1.06v.

when i use acer assitant tool which is recommended while upgrading to windows 8 as mention in acer website.it is suggesting me to upgrade bios to 1.13v.

i am not sure whether i should upgrade my bios as it may brick my laptop.

can anyone suggest me have any1 updated it bios for upgrading to windows 8? or can i upgrade my laptop to windows 8 without updating my bios?

Good day

This is my suggestion:

If you are using an Upgrade Disc, update the bios to 1.13

If you are using a full clean installtion disc, then update the bios to 2.07

The reason there are bios updates, its for better system performance etc.
