Regarding OS independent BIOS:

While installing a newer BIOS version may add new features, update various components, or improve the usability of your device, the process is risky and it is recommended to upgrade only when really needed.

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

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

Nonetheless, regardless of the method used or whether the upgrade is performed by ordinary or advanced users, it is recommended to apply the new BIOS in a stable power environment, such as that guaranteed 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 the hardware components of the system – so make sure to flash it properly.

Keep in mind that an unsuccessful installation can severely damage your device, and a bad BIOS resulting from the process may even render it unusable.

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