m15 R3, BIOS 1.5 update not installing

The Alienware Update has prompted to do a BIOS ver 1.5 update, I followed the instruction to install 3 times already without success, each time the install status bar stop in middle for hours without advancing, lastly have to cancel the installation.

I contact local Dell support which is linked to mainland China, their answer is no need to do update if there is no problem on the laptop. What a joke, this is a new laptop which I purchased just 3 days ago, I just don't have a benchmark to know if the laptop is performed at optimal stage. Anyway, is there another way or tips can bring to successful BIOS update?

By the way, is stopping/canceling the installation in middle of the installation will harm the laptop?

Also, is possible to change Tech Support to other regions e.g. Singapore,  Australia; the knowledge of the tech support agent in my area seem not much help to my questions.

hey I've had the same issue since I bought my M15 R3 laptop I found a video on YouTube from Alienware explaining everything you need to do to clear your update mine is fully updated and no longer tells me to download try using this and following the step I don't have bitlocker so I skipped the first part 

Update the BIOS on your Alienware PC - YouTube

Good luck and I hope this helps
