if you are too scary on doing it...don't do it
it's really easy to update nowadays, you have just to browse to WIN folder and run BIOS_WIN.bat and then follow instructions.
it will take 5 minutes.
about if it's worth or not, i can't tell you, since there isn't any changelog.

type

Which windows version had from factory?
If was windows 7, you can't update using P1.Bx versions.I'm not an Acer employee.0 -
It was windows 8, not 8.1 just 8. What does it mean? is it good for upgrade even if i have win 10 now? Or still too risky?

But is it worth it? an is there a risk that the pc wont start after the update? I just heard so many things that have gone wrong. And the thing that i have a win 10 and im updating with a bios of win 8, thats not a problem?
