Aurora-R4, BIOS update after A03

So, I have bought an Alienware Aurora R4 and its BIOS version is A03 and I need to upgrade it in order and when I open the installer(s) I get an error "Can't open File" and I don't know how to fix it, can I update from a flash drive?

Why are you updating the bios on a brand new computer? Run msinfo32 and see what bios you have. You should not need a new bios. Do not force an update. It could brick your computer.

1. Try A05 or A06 .

2. On UEFI-based machine ... usually YES ... and usually from F12-on-boot BIOS screen.
