Getting the error "your computer hardware should be upgraded" during the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8. 1

Hello

I recently bought a DVD of Windows 8.1 and when I try to update my Windows 7 to Windows 8.1, I get error "your computer hardware must be upgraded. I have Dell Inspiron N5110 notebook with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit Service Pack 1. The laptop is running on Dell BIOS A09. I did a google search for this error and found that I need to update my BIOS to version, but most of the reviews in said Internet Dell BIOS A11 running 'black screen' after being upgraded to Windows 8 or 8.1. How can I solve this problem to upgrade my laptop for Windows 8.1? Any help is greatly appreciated!
I thank very you much in advance!
Thank you
Srini

Contact Support latest Tech Dell to see if they have an update of the BIOS.

Note: Have your number of practical service.

Also before you upgrade do a backup of Windows 7 Image just in case the issue of the "black screen" is not resolved. The Image will allow you to restore Windows 7.
