17 R5, BIOS Update 1.7.0
My current Bios version is 1.5.0. Support Assist is prompting me with an "Urgent" request to update the Firmware, which I believe will update the BIOS to version 1.7.0 (the current download available on the Dell support website). There is a 1.5.1 and a couple of 1.6.x releases before this one.
Has anyone applied this update 1.7.0 and can comment on how well it worked? The notes indicate it relates to security issues. BIOS 1.5.1 fixed an issue when using the graphics amplifier; 1.6.x updates are noted for Intel security.
So often in forums people say not to do BIOS updates, unless it is addressing a particular performance issue one is interested in.
