Area-51 R5, System BIOS, 2 choices in SupportAssist?
Hello I have an Alienware Area 51 R5.
Support Assist is saying I have two Urgent available updates for System BIOS. Please see the screenshot below.
Should I just run both as it says? I'm thinking that maybe I should ignore the R4 update, since my system is labelled R5.
Please advise. Thanks.

Your pic will likely be moderated (and then viewable) around Monday. Words are good. :Smile:
Uninstall Support-ASSist and be happy.
According to this, the Area51-R4 and R5 share the same motherboard and therefore ... BIOS upgrades.

You can update BIOS from inside UEFI-Environment (outside of Windows ... near the BIOS setup). I think it is safer that way (less bricking risk).
