XPS 8930 BIOS update

XPS 8930 BIOS has been updated to 1.1.30.

You must have BIOS 1.1.28 installed before installing either 1.1.29 or 1.1.30. Once you install 1.1.28, you should be able to skip 1.1.29, if you don't already have it.

Use the F12 Flash Update option with a 2-GB USB, formatted FAT32, which is safer than using SupportAssist or just manually inside Windows.

Updating BIOS is entirely the user's decision.

    I just did the 1.1.30 update via USB / F12 Flash BIOS, no problems.  Yes, I live dangerously.

    Just installed XPS 8930 BIOS 1.1.30 via F12 Flash Update. No problems at all.

    Then went into BIOS setup and disabled UEFI Capsule Updates, and enabled BIOS Auto-Recovery and Always Perform Integrity Check, again...

    I just updated my 8930 to the new BIOS 1.1.30 using the USB stick and F12 as usual.  This one took a little longer (4:30 minutes) and had 3 or 4 reboots, but worked fine.  Also went back in to BIOS and made my usual 4 changes.
