Hi:

 

The latest BIOS update that was released for your notebook is F.2A and was meant to be run on Windows 8.

 

That is newer than F.26.  Check the revision history info on the link below.

Updating the BIOS when running Windows 8.1 may work fine, or it may wreck your notebook irreparably.

 

Update the BIOS at your own risk on W8.1.
