This instruction will help you to update BIOS AMI, Phoenix Award for a computer or laptop ASUS, HP, Lenovo, MSI, Acer, Samsung, and so on. These types of BIOS are used by such motherboard manufacturers as Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, EVGA, Intel, Asrock etc.

When do you need to update BIOS? If your computer works without any problems, and all of the devices connected to your PC are bug-free, there is no need to update BIOS. But if your computer is relatively old, and you cannot connect a certain device without errors, then updating BIOS can solve the problem. Having Windows 8 or 10 installed on an old PC, a BIOS update can solve the problem with incorrect work of old drivers.  Sometimes when trying to install Windows 10 on an old computer you can face this kind of screen freezing in the first window after booting the computer which makes it impossible to continue with installation of the operating system (I also experienced such problem). I solved it by updating BIOS to the latest version. 

I would like to warn you that updating BIOS is a risky process, and if there is a failure, the problem will be more difficult to solve than just reinstall Windows.  Before you start updating, charge your laptop’s battery or use an uninterrupted power supply for your desktop computer just in case there is a power cut during the process of updating.  

If you decided to update your BIOS, the first thing you should know is the motherboard name and model as well as the current BIOS version. But if you have a factory assembled PC or a laptop by a well-known manufacturer (e. g. Dell, HP, Acer, Lenovo and so on), then you have to know the computer model name instead of the motherboard name and model.
