    Updating the BIOS is not dangerous in sense that if you don't mess anything up while it is updating e.g turning the laptop off or unplugging a USB device, the update will fail and brick your device.

    You don't have to update the BIOS, unless you experience an issue, which is not driver or OS related.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.
