BIOS update on ASUS motherboard

In theory, there are different ways to update BIOS - for example, through DOS, third-party programs or from the BIOS itself. However, the most simple, modern and safe way of holding an update is to use special utilities from the manufacturer's website. At the same time, if you bought a computer in the assembly from some famous brand (for example Dell, HP, Lenovo), it is better to apply for software and the details of the update process that is on their sites. In the opposite case, with motherboards from ASUS we do this:

  • unpack all the archives that were downloaded by instructions in the previous paragraph;
  • run the WinFlash utility;
  • the program interface will ask to specify where the BIOS update file has been saved;
  • the program will check the file and starts it to execute it (it is desirable to close all other programs before it, connect the laptop to the network, PC to the uninterruptible power source);
  • after a few minutes, WinFlash will finish work and will offer to reboot - click to this button "ENTER";
  • when the computer turns on again, check the BIOS version through msinfo32.

There is another useful program that independently checks the relevance of installed drivers, BIOS and other important components of the system. To use "ASUS Manager":

  • go by reference to the company's website;
  • select the version of Windows, download the utility;
  • unpack and install as the usual PC program;
  • we start "ASUS Manager", go to the "Update" section -\u003e "BIOS";
  • click the "Connect to the Server" button;
  • the program in one click will update everything to the latest version;
