Flashing the BIOS from the F12 One-Time boot menu

Updating your system BIOS using a BIOS update .exe file copied to a FAT32 USB key and booting from the F12 one time boot menu.

BIOS Update

You can run the BIOS update file from Windows using a bootable USB key or you can also update the BIOS from the F12 One-Time boot menu on the system.

Most Dell systems built after 2012 have this capability and you can confirm by booting your system to the F12 One-Time Boot Menu to see if BIOS FLASH UPDATE is listed as a boot option for your system. If the option is listed, then the BIOS supports this BIOS update option.

  • NOTE: Only systems with BIOS Flash Update option in the F12 One-Time Boot Menu can use this function.
Updating from the One-Time Boot Menu

To update your BIOS from the F12 One-Time boot menu, you will need:

  • USB key formatted to the FAT32 file system (key does not have to be bootable)
  • BIOS executable file that you downloaded from the Dell Support website and copied to the root of the USB key
  • AC power adapter connected to the system
  • Functional system battery to flash the BIOS

Perform the following steps to execute the BIOS update flash process from the F12 menu:
