I am trying to help my sister upgrade a Gateway DX4870 from windows 8 to windows 10. I found a BIOS upgrade at
http://us.gateway.com/gw/en/US/content/drivers-downloads

labeled Gateway BIOS - UEFI for Windows 8 (Not for Upgrades) P11.B1 2014/04/03

I am not sure what this upgrade does and whether the update should be installed. Any advice would be appreciated.

    if your syster's desktop came from factory with windows 8, you can update the BIOS to P11.B1

    there's no changelog, so only Gateway knows which kind of fixes there are.
