Thanks for your return,
I need the Motherboard ID, so that I can help you select the right BIOS update file.
In Windows:
On the keyboard, press CTRL, ALT and S or press Fn and Esc simultaneously.
Do not hesitate to contact us in case of need.

Thanks for your return,
As I see on your screenshot the BIOS currently installed is F.65 version.
So the computer's BIOS is already up to date.
- BIOS Version F.65
It is not possible to go back to an earlier BIOS image than the one installed with F.65. This is why you encounter an error, so this is the normal behavior of the computer. There is no need to go any further.
Do not hesitate to contact us in case of need.
Best regards,
