@lucius14,

You need to run a downloaded BIOS file (spxxxxx) to create a BIOS update/recovery usb drive, but it is not bootable as it doesn't contain any boot files.

You need to use the key press combination method (press Windows and B keys then power button) to boot the system to perform BIOS update.

 Click this link and go to "3 Manually Recover the BIOS" and expand "Recover the BIOS Using a USB Recovery Drive" for step-by-step instructions.

Thanks for the reply. The problem is that when I launch the BIOS file downloaded, I don't get the USB drive flash screen as shown in the link you provided. Files are simply extracted into a folder.

This Is when i start the setup:

And then this Is the folder resulting:

Now i don't know what to do with these files. If i launch the exe file, with administrator rights, i receive an error and It stop running.

See the release note for BIOS F.66.

F.66 is supported with W7 and W8 only. If the PC is running on W10, it may not run the F.66 BIOS update file.
