What BIOS is presently installed?  I found a BIOS file from Jul 2, 2014, so you are probably running with that.  Just in case yours is older, then here is the link

BUT, IMHO, if the PC is running properly and not giving you problems, why risk ruining that happy experience?

BIOS updates are not foolproof and you may brick the machine.

Thanks for the quick reply. The current BIOS is 8.14. Since 8.19 is listed for WIN 8.1 and I am using Win 10, I am not going to chance it. I put in a new SSD and the computer is now super fast for an oldie. It beats spending $1000 for a new one. And as you said " if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
