Hello,

Today under setting - update and security it shows 2 updates available for Insyde software firmware update (Insyde Software - Firmware - 40.0.1.1 and Insyde Software - Firmware - 5.33.1.5).
I can see on acer website that there are 3 bios updates available (1.02, 1.03 and 1.04) for my laptop (spin 5 SP513-54N), would that be the same updates or is it something different?

    Those are Insyde's firmwares that can be use update your UEFI BIOS via Windows UEFI Update method.
    But it was more risks than normal BIOS update method if you running firmware update under Battery.

    Please avoid update driver without Plug-in before.

  • If you already have the latest version of the bios, only the driver for that device will be updated, without damaging the bios. Now, if the notebook has an older version of the bios, in this case, the driver Insyde Software - Firmware - 5.33.1.5 will update the bios. I think it is risky to update the bios through windows update.

    Your Acer Care Center software will tell you if anything is needed that doesn't get covered by your normal Windows updates.

    @AbdullahiAdem you should start a new thread with your question (use the Ask a Question button). Any BIOS updates do require that power be connected, because a failed update from running out of battery can be fatal. Please include your full model number (something like SP5xx-xxx-xxxx), what specifically you are seeing and what you have tried so far.
