Important Notes:

• Update the BIOS on your computer only if the newer BIOS version specifically solves a problem you have. We do not recommend BIOS updates for computers that do not need it. You can view all BIOS changes in the Release Notes included on the BIOS download page.

• Before updating the BIOS manually record all BIOS settings that have been changed (from default) so they can be restored after completing the BIOS update.
