Hi

 

This article instructs to get my current BIOS and Processor, using msinfo32.exe. 

But the article does not tell me what to do with this info. 

 

The article instructs to download the new BIOS from my drivers page. 

There is only one BIOS download on my drivers page. 

 

Therefor, why do i need msinfo32.exe?

 

Thx

The info is mainly for comparison to BIOS file on your driver page. If it is same version no need tp update. The other info such as processor, I think mostly applies to some CTO (configure to order) models that might have all drivers listed on same page-though some would be an Intel or AMD processor. In that case the BIOS would state for Intel or AMD so you would need to know which to choose.
