Important Information
- Once the BIOS is upgraded, you cannot downgrade the BIOS EXE/Recovery (RCV) to versions earlier than 1.6.0. BIOS downgrades are restricted when there are security updates and important fixes with earlier versions that impact the functionality of the system.
- If you want to downgrade to an older BIOS version, you may follow one of the below steps:
1. Use BIOS Flash Update in the F12 Boot menu to downgrade the BIOS.
2. Disable the SMM Security Mitigation option from BIOS setup menu before to attempt the downgrade in Windows operating system.
- BIOS updates take no more than 5 minutes to be installed on your system. You can install the updates in the background while using the system.
