Acer Aspire TC-605 BIOS Updating!? (Totally Confused on how to navigate DOS From Bootable USB)

Jmg19Delta

Alright Spec's..

Acer Aspire TC-605 Computer.

OS: Windows 10 Verison 10.0.10240 Build 10240

System Type: x64-based PC

Current BIOS: P11-A4 / 3/21/2014

 

I need to update the BIOS to the latest verison which is P11.B3.

 

Question 1: Do I need to update the BIOS in the direct order they've came out with updates or do I just update to the latest verison?

 

Question 2: I've created a Bootable USB Drive with FreeDOS using Rufus.. But I don't know what commands to enter to get the FLASH.BAT file running ect and AFUDOS ect.

The Readme file is so basic and doesn't give me a detailed enough procedure on what commands to enter to achieve updating the BIOS.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Jmg19Delta.

huh??

I have TC-605.

You don't need to create a bootable USB flash drive.  You just have to follow the instructions. And read the README file.

 

Copy the unzipped/extracted BIOS files (P11.B3) that you just downloaded to a USB flash drive. (I always quick format the USB flash drive to fat32 before I copy the files to it, but not sure if that's necessary.)

Open an admin command prompt

If your flash drive has a drive letter of F you would type

F:

cd win

flash

 

So it would look like this:

 

F:\win>flash

 

After its flashed, then you go in to BIOS settings and load defaults F9 and then save and exit F10.

 

My instructions are abbreviated, so make sure you read the instructions (README) instead of following mine....in case I missed anything.

 

If your computer came with P11.xx then you must use P11.xx.  You can't use P21 versions.

The L versions are for Linux....not Windows.

 

Edit: You can flash to P11.B3    if your current BIOS is P11.A4
