Bios A13 or A15 for 17R SE 7720 I5
Can someone tell if I need to update my Bios.
I have had the laptop for nearly two months now and everything seems ok with it.
My current Bios version is A13 which came with the laptop and there is a newer version out now which is A15. So do I really need to update to this new version.
I've no way of backing up my current version at the moment so is it a bit of a gamble to do this or is the A15 a smoother/better version.
I'm afraid i'm a bit of a novice at all this so any help and advice would be great.

Hi Wood2Stone,
The BIOS update A15 for Inspiron 17R SE adds the following features :
If you wish to add the above features to system, you may update the BIOS to latest version A15. Unfortunately, there is no way to backup the current BIOS.
If you wish to proceed further with BIOS update, please ensure that:
*Battery is more than 10% charged
*Battery charger should be connected
*No external devices (flash drives, printers, external hard drives) should be connected.
*All other programs should be closed and documents saved
Hope this helps.
