- The latest version of Windows apparently allows manufacturers to pawn off the BIOS upgrade to Microsoft. Instead of you having to locate and install the BIOS by downloading it from the manufacturer's website or using the manufacturer's own system update utility, an update to the firmware will download the latest BIOS available on Microsoft servers.
A few facts.
1. Sometimes, the firmware available may not be the latest, compared to the website. Sometimes however, what is on Microsoft server may be the latest one, even preceding the one published on the manufacturer website. Happens to me a few time with HP laptops.
2. Be very careful when updating that involves Intel's ME updates. I had one update that sort of skipped an ME update on the Predator Helios 300 and it sort of screwed something since the system claims that I don't have windows. Probably screwed up the encryption of something.
