If its available (Windows 8 and later) also take a note of the: OS Name. OS Version. BIOS Mode.
Secure. Boot State. Example 1. Take a note of the: System Manufacturer – Dell Inc. System Model – XPS 8. BIOS version and date – A0. Also take a note of the: OS Name Windows 1.
Pro. OS Version 1. BIOS Mode Legacy. Secure. Boot State Unsupported. Downloading the BIOS update: I do not recommend downloading the BIOS update from Dell Drivers and Downloads because sometimes BIOS updates require older BIOS as a prerequisite.
A0. 3 to A1. 2 may state that A0. A1. 2. Dell Drivers and Downloads only lists the latest revision whereas the Dell FTP website lists all the revisions for the model.
If your system is not a Dell get the driver from your appropriate OEM for instance HP or Lenovo. Example 1: XPS 8.
Press [Ctrl] and [ f ] on your browser this will open up the search on the page. Type in the digits of your model number in the search box and press the right arrow until you find your model: Left click your model number: Scroll down to BIOSYou will see the latest revision at the top and all subsequent versions Dell released. In the case of my XPS 8. A0. 6 and hence is up to date. So theres no need to attempt update.
Note the release date on this page may be slightly different to the date of the BIOS revision on system information because it takes Dell some time to test the update before they make it public. If you have a BIOS revision lower than the latest version. For example on an Optiplex 7. BIOS revision A0. A1. 6 release. Select the download button and then select Save.
Do not select run as you shouldn’t have background programs when running the BIOS update. In most cases it will not work anyway as the BIOS update needs elevated permissions. I advise moving the downloaded update from Downloads to the Desktop. Installing the Latest BIOS Update.
The BIOS update is a firmware update. This type of update updates the firmware for your system BIOS. You launch the BIOS update within Windows but the computer restarts and updates the BIOS within BIOS. Therefore once a BIOS update is applied it remains applied even if Windows is reinstalled. As the BIOS update has the potential to change the functionality of your hardware, additional security measures are put into place to make sure that you actually want to run the BIOS update.
Note An incorrect BIOS update has the potential to kill your computer entirely. Before updating the BIOS its advisable to make sure all programs are closed. Right click the BIOS update and select run as an administrator. The BIOS update will then launch and tell you what revision you have and what revision the BIOS flash is.
If you are up to date or equal to the BIOS revision or its unsupported as in the case of my XPS 8. If its supported it will allow you to select continue: Click ok.
The computer will then restart and restart the BIOS update. DO NOT DISTURB THE COMPUTER DURING THIS TIME and certainly do not cut power. If you do then likely you will kill the computer entirely. Once the computer loads into Windows some of the BIOS updates will re- launch automatically but then will tell youthat you have the latest version already so just click cancel.
You may then delete the BIOS update from the Desktop. Some BIOS updates may require perquisite BIOS updates as mentioned. Try to update the BIOS in the least number of steps. Determining if your system has a UEFI BIOS and Secure. Boot and Notes Regarding the Windows 1.
Upgrade. For optimal performance Windows 1. TH2 should be clean installed using a UEFI BIOS with Secure. Boot enabled if your computer has these technologies. The Bootable USB should be formatted as GPT partition scheme for the UEFI BIOS using Rufus. So lets give a basic explanation of all these acronyms…What is Basic Input Output System (BIOS)?
Basic Input Output System (BIOS) as the name suggests is the very basic Operating System embedded into your systems i. The BIOS setup allows you to change some of your hardware settings and to boot from installation media with a proper Operating System e. Windows 1. 0. What is Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)? Associated with BIOS is the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) which is essentially a modern more advanced version of BIOS that has increased functionality and additional security. Because of the strong connection and familiarity of end users to BIOS this is usually denoted UEFI BIOS and not just UEFI. What is Master Boot Record (MBR)?
This is the legacy partition table associated with BIOS. It has the limitation of a maximum of 4 partitions and also a maximum drive capacity of 2 TB. Moreover because there is a single Boot Record if this becomes corrupt the Windows OS will be corrupt and need to be repaired from installation media (possibily resulting in data loss).
What is GUID Partition Table (GUID)? This is the revised partition table and requires a UEFI BIOS. It allows up to 1.
TB. Because this partition table can create a large number of partitions it does not restrict users like MBR and allows the Windows 1. OS to make both a primary and secondary Boot Record.
If the primary Boot Record becomes corrupt it can easily automatically be fixed using the secondary boot record making it more robust. What is Secure. Boot and why Should I use it? This is a firmware security technology and requires a UEFI BIOS. The advantages of Secure. Boot are covered in this schematic. Essentially its a firmware protection feature when Secure. Boot only Microsoft verified code is allowed to boot which means Windows 1.
Conversely when Secure. Boot is disabled the nasties may load before Windows disabling any inbuilt Windows 1. Security features from loading leaving your computer computer vulnerable to attack. Note although this guide is focusing on Windows 1. Linux Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Linux Fedora instalaltion media have all been updated to pass Secure. Boot. Likewise utilities such as Acronis.
If your Computer came with Windows 8, Windows 8. Windows 1. 0 Preinstalled. All Windows 8 and later computers have a UEFI BIOS and both UEFI and Secure. Boot should be enabled from the factory. You can confirm this by looking at your system information if your BIOS Mode is UEFI and your Secure. Boot State is On you likely have Windows 8 6.
Bit or later preinstalled and hence already have the optimal settings for proceeding with a Clean Install of Windows 1. Bit TH2. For such configurations you do not need to check your UEFI BIOS setup. If your Computer was Downgraded to Windows 7 or is a Late Windows 7 System. If you had Windows 7 preinstalled instead of Windows 8 or later or manually Downgraded to Windows 7 yourself Secure. Boot will have been Disabled as Windows 7 installation media was never updated past 2.
Microsoft to pass Secure. Boot. Moreover Windows 7 may be installed using the MBR partition scheme with the legacy BIOS setting applied.
If you have UEFI and Secure. Boot enable both and install Windows 1. GPT partitions scheme.
Note there are a handful of early UEFI systems that have a UEFI BIOS without Secure. Boot. If your Computer is an Early Windows 7 System. It should be noted that systems have came preinstalled with Windows 7 as early as 2. As a rule of thumb systems with a BIOS revision < 2. UEFI BIOS and Windows 1. MBR. There is a grey area for 2.
If your system BIOS revision is > 2. BIOS setup to see if they are supported. Secure. Boot will be disabled in systems that have Windows 7 loaded for instance as Windows 7 doesn’t support Secure. Boot. I advise exiting the BIOS without saving changes so you can prepare a Windows 1. TH2 bootable USB with the appropriate settings on your current Windows installation.
