There is not real reason for me to update the bios.
Just try to come closer to windows 11 restitutions. Any way i have not tpm om my motherboard then update the bios make no sense.
My bios is full of old installations.This I do not like.
Anyway.
If I can find out the update works for sure in windodows 10/11 I will do it. Otherwise I will do not.
I need to know if some one tryed it on the same machine.
Perhaps the update is only for windows 8.
There is a higher probability it will work, but I can not be sure.

@Filippopune -- If I can find out the update works for sure in windows 10/11 I will do it.
One of the files in the package is a ".BAT" file.
The commands in that file do some "tricks", namely to access the file-system on a hidden partition, and copy the new ROM into that file-system, and then run a program within that file-system to do the update.
It is quite possible that that hidden partition DOES NOT exist on a computer that is NOT running the factory-installed Windows 8 system. So, the update would fail.
> I need to know if some one tried it on the same machine.
I am confident that it will fail, if invoked while Windows 10 is running.

Yes: the program to update the BIOS is only compatible with Windows 8.
No: if your computer's BIOS SETUP has an option to directly update the BIOS, you can do the update, before Windows 10 (or Windows 11 or Linux) starts to be loaded from the disk-drive into the computer's RAM.
> There is a higher probability it will work, but I can not be sure.
I really doubt that it will work, because that ".BAT" file was written to interact ONLY with a factory-loaded disk-drive.
Short answer: if your BIOS SETUP has an "BIOS Update" option, see my previous description for instructions on how to update the BIOS.
