Firmware update

acer aspire a515 54g 78rc

i updated my bios from acer website to version 1.18 . the care center and msinfo32 shows my bios version is 1.18
But when i go to device manager , under firmware tab it shows ' acer inc system firmware 1.12 '
i clicked update driver and it says the firmware is up to date
Is this firmware different from the bios version installed

There are two types of firmware that can be serviced via Windows: system firmware and device firmware. System firmware is responsible for providing critical boot and runtime services to the system as a whole, and device firmware is associated with a particular device integrated into a system.
That acer inc system firmware 1.12 could be anything in your computer. 
I have a System Firmware entry in Device Manager and I googled the Intel driver for it and it says it's for Microsoft Xbox Controller and NVIDIA Miracast Audio. I would just idnor it.

Thank you. 
So the firmware version and bios version do not need to match right 
No need for both to be at 1.18?

It isn't going to cause you any problem. It may not even be anything to do with the Bios.

My computer is an ACER Aspire XC-703.
After an automatic windows update, now an error message "NEC system firmware" appears.
How should I resolve the error?
