I am trying to update my windows but was told that I need to update my BIOS first. When I checked the site there are many versions off BIOS updates . My Questions are:
1) Do I need to install them all in Sequence. The oldest first and then the next one?
2) Or will the lastest version have all the previous updates? And I have to install / update only one version?
3) What is the process to do this?
4) Is there a difference between BIOS UEFI and MBR and what is the recommended version / process?

The latest BIOS for your computer is P11.B4. So all you have to do is download P11.B4 and unzip/extract it and then follow the winflash pdf instructions in the Appendix folder.

Good evening Weststrate !
Is there any specific need to upgrade to Bios?
Bios upgrades are extremely delicate and risky processes and should only be performed in serious cases of serious system errors or extreme need for correction or compatibility.
Other than that this is a process that should be avoided as much as possible, especially if your machine is working perfectly.

Good. If it was mine and not having any major issues other than rejecting the troubled 1903 work in progress, I would not risk bricking the machine trying to install firmware released a few months later in 2015 in hopes of installing a major 2019 Win10 revision. Instead, I'd hold off. Because it's not so much that my machine isn't ready for 1903, it's more like 1903 isn't ready for my machine. If I'm running 1803 now, I wouldn't do anything till at least Nov when it's currently scheduled to lose maintenance support. If 1809, I'd wait till next May. A lot can happen between now and Nov or next May. I might even find that a new major release beyond 1903 installs just fine thus bypassing 1903 altogether. Jack E/NJ
