Aurora R7, 0.1.0.26 firmware update
Hello,
I was wondering if I could get some clarification on a situation that I'm having. When I go to my optional updates, I see Alienware - Firmware - 0.1.0.26. But I have the Alienware - Firmware - 0.1.0.25 installed. Should I update it? Its, been a while so I don't quite remember if I should update it or keep it as Alienware - Firmware - 0.1.0.25?
Please let me know if you need any clarification.

If everything works there's no need to update.

It's not a BIOS, it is firmware and it will be listed as firmware in device manager.
I think a lot of issues could be expected if you update the firmware to a later revision than the BIOS, so I would not recommend updating either BIOS or firmware if everything works properly.

I see this listed in my Windows Updates right now. I wish Dell or Microsoft would stop pushing BIOS updates down. I just hid it with the Window Show Hide tool.
Last time I got caught and previous BIOS installed automatically. It went w/o a issue. (crossed my fingers)
