    Nowadays all the BIOS updates are commonly done using .exe file which is a safest way. The older method was to flash the BIOS which was difficult and mostly results issues.

    While doing BIOS update make sure to plug the device and close all the applications apart from installation page. Do not restart the device during BIOS update this would cause failure. During the update the computer would restart automatically and shows a message as BIOS updated successfully.

    Any BIOS firmware update is risky. If it were mine, I would not risk any update unless the machine exhibited an annoying or disabling issue that the update was designed to fix. Jack E/NJ
