About OS independent BIOS:

While installing a newer BIOS version may add new features, update various components, or improve the usability of the device, the process is risky and it is recommended that you upgrade only when absolutely necessary.

Otherwise, this task should be performed by someone with the knowledge to successfully complete the installation; normal users do so at their own risk.

When applying a new version regardless of the computer’s operating system, the most common method of flashing the BIOS is to create a bootable USB or CD containing the update files and run it from DOS.

Nonetheless, regardless of the method used or whether the upgrade is performed by a regular user or an advanced user, it is recommended to apply the new BIOS in a stable power environment such as one secured by a UPS unit.

The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is a very important piece of software that loads the currently installed operating system and tests all of the system’s hardware components – so make sure you flash it properly.

Keep in mind that an unsuccessful installation could severely damage your device, and a malfunctioning BIOS from the process could even render the device unusable.

So if this release contains useful changes, hit the download button to get the package and update your BIOS version. Otherwise, please check our website as often as possible so you don’t miss the version you need.
