E531 update the Bios with WIndows 10 installed?

Is it possible to update the BIOS with 10 Windows installed on E531?

I don't see W7, W8, and XP

Yet once, have solved this problem, I thought I would share with others who may have the same or similar issues.

I was able to update the BIOS on my Windows 10 install with upgrade download BIOS in Windows 8. Simply install as you normally would, and be patient for the machine to install. Installation BIOS itself is a little funky; I saw the screen go completely white for a while without message about progress or anything like that. But ultimately it ends and works well.

  • Update the Bios with Windows 7

    I have a compaq presario sr2173wm.  He came originally with windows vista.  I've upgraded to windows 7.  Now, I would like to update my bios.  My problem is that the update of the HP bios has my computer does not work with windows 7.  Anyone have any ideas

    If you're having no problems, it is not really any reason to upgrade a BIOS.  And update BIOS of HP programs only work on plant operating systems (unfortunately), so without hacking of the installer, you will not be able to install the BIOS update unless you are on a computer using a BIOS from HP HP and the factory operating system.  I'm sorry.  But, in a nutshell, a previous post that said better; "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."  You have problems with the normal operation of your computer?

  • Satellite A110 - update the BIOS for Windows 7?

    In 'other info' page on first bios there is a warning that this version is only for windows vista, and on the second page 'other info' he warns, that this version is not compatible for notebook computers equipped with Windows Vista.
    My first question is what this means? If I have OS Toshiba idependent 2.0 BIOS will not install Vista?

    Hello

    > My first question is what this means? If I have OS Toshiba idependent 2.0 BIOS will not install Vista?
    You should be able to install Vista using BISO 2.0 but maybe your laptop will generate some questions
    So you need to update the BIOS to 5, 40 - WIN version if you want to use Vista OS.

    I have recived portable computer of the Government with windows pre installed 7professional but now I want to format and reinstal it I require the startup disk and product key (my OS is authentic)

    If it's a copy of volume license installed, you will need to contact your employer to find the product key and get the installation files.

    If it is preinstalled at the factory with Windows 7 Professional, then use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

    I have a HP Pavilion a1747c desktop computer and I need to update BIOS for virtualization technology. However the update the BIOS only supports Windows Vista, and I have Windows 7. Can I still updated it somehow?

    Yes, you may be able to extract the actual BIOS file of the installation package compressed and use a flash routine appropriate for flashing BIOS under another operating system, but you do so at your own risk. Any damage to your computer by using this process is at your own risk and you take responsibility for it.

  • How can I update the BIOS without windows on V3 - 372

    I bought an ACER V3-372-57CW and refuses the computer at startup (the Green ACER splash screen at boot EFI appear same) when my Tablet WACOM Intuos 4 (if not fully functional) is inserted any USB port. Customer service Acer not recognize wanted to nor register the question so my last hope is that a BIOS update will solve the problem.

    I'm used to the manufacturers supplying utilities executable flash BACK running under FreeDOS etc but for the Acer V3 - 372, I can only find an executable for Windows 10. Of course, uninstalling the entire system just for the update of the BIOS is not a viable option.

    Is it possible to get either one executable for the update of the BIOS BACK or something that could be used from within Linux (with EFI)?

    Thank you

    Masquilier,

    At the present time, I have installed on my Windows computer.  If someone were to tell me that I needed to install another operating system to update the BIOS, I don't think it was a big deal.  I would like to...

    1. create a system with the Windows image backup

    2 clean the clean disk with 'diskpart '.

    3. install any OS they told me that I had to install.

    4. update of the BIOS

    5. after updating the BIOS, I would just wipe the drive with diskpart and restore my Windows system image.

    6. it would take me less than 45 minutes to accomplish steps 1 through 5.  Probably about 30 minutes to be honest.

    Use my logic.  Except that I'm not a Linux expert and don't know how to do what I tell you with Linux.  Just google it.  I see that some people use clonezilla, but I don't know there is a command to do the same.

    Important note: own Diskpart is priceless, if you n-front-rear of switching between the old modes and UEFI... or deleting partitions... or clean installation of an OS.  However, make sure that you don't accidentally wipe the bad drive (drive).  Be careful.  There is step-overs.

  • Can Equium P200 (PSB5E) - I update the BIOS on Windows 7?

    Hello.

    My question is: how to upgrade the BIOS under Windows 7? My Bios version is 1.70, I've seen, this version 2.50 is available for download, but only under Vista.

    Can it run Windows 7?

    Hello

    First question;
    Why do you update the BIOS?
    Is the reason for this?
    If the laptop runs successfully a BIOS update is not necessary!

    Now back to the issue of BIOS;
    Some laptops have special need BIOS for Win XP or Vista.
    So if you are using XP or Vista, then you must use the BIOS that was designed for one of these windows systems on the European driver Toshiba page you can see a column of OS that provides the info for what BIOS OS is designed.

    But in most cases, the BIOS is OS independent, which means that you can use it in any Windows operating system.

    Simply said; If the BIOS is available for Vista, then you can only use it with Vista.
    If it s independent OS, you can use it with Win 7, Vista or XP

  • x 61 was updated the BIOS with 7nuj21us.exe Failed BIOS update utility

    Only, I have restored my x 61 to the original settings due to a problem with the blue screens and decided to update the BIOS right afterwards.  I followed the directions precisely and installed all 21 of each component for this model.

    I then turn off the computer and turned it back this morning to continue to load the software.  The system started with the fan running at high speed and stopped at the ThinkPad screen.  However, nothing happened after pressing the ThinkVantage button and F1 or another touches besides.  I left for a few hours, but finally determined that I could not turn off or do anything with the machine.  He just hung there.  I did finally remove the battery and replace it and now there is not able to record when the machine is connected and it does not start.

    Is there something I can do to recover the system?  I suspect that the answer is a replacement of the Commission.  The update of the BIOS was not at the same time with something on my computer.  I have just 2 years in the warranty period at the United States, so if I need to replace the card, what are the best options?

    Thanks for your help and comments... it is a very frustrating twist, because this is my work machine.

    Dmtrich,

    Certainly, we can download and system flash here, just to be safe.

    I'm sorry that you have had this problem, I sent you a PM and email and we can follow up there to work through your specific.  Please let us know your concerns!

  • Is it possible to update the BIOS without Windows installed - Satellie L30

    I have not installed WIndows on my Toshiba Satellite PSL33E. Is it possible to create a boot CD to upgrade the BIOS on my laptop?

    This is possible only if you have a BIOS traditional Toshiba update version.
    But the fact is that page European driver of Toshiba DOESN T provide this BIOS.
    If there is only a windows base BIOS, which means that you can update from Windows operating system running.

    Sorry, don't think that you could do that. Oohhh wait maybe the ASP in your country might help. Maybe the registered maintainer can be updated using a disk.

  • update the BIOS with Win 7

    Hello everyone, it has been a while. I had some problems with my SR5505F, I run Memtest + 86 on a barrette of RAM (2x2gb) both, but first wanted to check/upgrade the BIOS in case that was the problem, problem is, I upgraded the OS from Vista to Windows 7, and the BIOS for this model only offer the choice for Vista 32 and Vista 64 What should I do, my last update of the BIOS shows 2008. Thanks for any help.

    Yes, I wouldn't risk.

    You can always make a system image to install W7 using W7 backup tool, reinstall Vista, Flash the BIOS and reinstall W7 from your image backup. You will need to do a W7 boot CD or use your installation disk of W7 and instead of the installation option, select repair your computer option at the bottom left of the installation screen.  Then select restore from an image system or what is the closest that verbage thing.

    No vista installation media?

    You can do it yourself.  See below... beginning on page 289.

  • Update the BIOS and Windows Update problem

    Hello

    I have a Pavilion laptop g7-2017us running Windows 7 Enterprise. October 18,2012, HP maintenance program informed me that he had to update my BIOS. HP maintenance program had not updated of the BIOS.  See my BIOS is F.08 (dated 03/05/12).  Manually, I been looking for the latest BIOS and found that it was identical to what is installed on my computer.  It seems that software of diagnosis of HP gave me false alarms.

    Question #2: I periodically install updates to Windows.  I saw my story updates and found 2 failed: one who is 'recommended' and the other 'Important '.  I looked at the error code and they are all two "80004004. I did google search and learned this is very serious problem b/c Windows is damaged.  I tried using Microsoft 'Fix It', but it doesn't seem to help.  Anyone have any suggestions on what I should do?

    Thank you

  • 22-3020: updating the BIOS with the utility HP - big mistake

    I have a model all-in-one 22-3020 who Support Assistant who kept harassing me to do a BIOS update.  I followed the instructions, he made a back-up and then the utility went down.  When you are finished, I continued to use the computer without a problem.

    The next morning, I got a white screen, waved the mouse to activate the standby mode screen (I guess) and if the computer was on, I couldn't any screen.  I restarted the computer (several times) with no screen.  Then, I searched this problem on Google and found a recommendation to hit the F10 key for 8 seconds, arrow down 3 times, and then press enter two times.  It was suggested that the BIOS update has somehow got stuck in standby mode.

    I tried without success and took the computer to a local repair center who told me that they couldn't access the BIOS to go back, or set.  In short, they said that the assistant to Support HP probably brick my computer and I would probably need to replace the motherboard.  I'll pass.

    Can anyone offer any other suggestions on how to try to restart the computer?  Is it possible to connect another monitor using the USB or HDMI so I can see if the F10 key is me to get into the BIOS (although I suppose that the repair people who would have thought).

    I'm the only one who has had my computer in brick by this utility that comes on the computer?

    Any help appreciated.

    You have a 1 year warranty. Call HP support.
