How Do You Flash The BIOS On A Computer?
Flashing the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installs the latest version of BIOS software on the motherboard. More advanced BIOS software allows for more advanced hardware to be utilized by the motherboard (such as advanced wireless mice and keyboards or larger hard drives). Identify the motherboard model and BIOS version in the manual that came with the computer. If no manual is available, right-click “Computer” and click the “Properties” option from the menu to find the computer model and number. Use that information to identify the motherboard by going to the manufacturer’s website and locating the system specifications for that computer model. Find the website of the motherboard manufacturer and locate the BIOS update program. Locate the most recent update program compatible with USB flash drives (not floppy drives) and download the program. Copy the update file downloaded from the manufacturer’s website to the flash drive. Download the HP Drive Key Utility from http://h20000.www2
