• HP Notebook X7W81UA #ABA: HP BIOS recommended update: should I update?

  Hey guys. I just bought a new PC for the school and the HP Support Assistant program recommends an update the BIOS. Now, I know that the update is available, but I also know that you should only update in general if there is a problem as the BIOS update is risky if not done correctly.
  
  Now since is a recommended update, I tried the update and there not twice. I don't want to keep taking chances to spoil a whole new machine just for an update which may even not been necessary in the first instance.

  What I would like to know what exactly this release Add/fix on this machine? I already searched the Internet but have failed to find a description for this particular update. If someone could please take a look at the attached screen shot and let me know what this update is for, I would be very grateful. At least then I could make an informed decision about the weather or not, I will try again this update.

  PC model: HP Notebook X7W81UA #ABA

  Current version of BIOS: Insyde F.09

  Suggested BIOS version: F.13Ap1

  Thank you.

• Update of HP Z620 BIOS causing the disc start plu

  Dear Sir

  I updated the system of workstations HP Z420/Z620 (International) BIOS to 03.69 Rev.
  18 June 2014 to my windows 7 Professional. After the reboot, it could not find my boot drive. In the Bios, the order of boot to SATA drive name list is totally a mess, named as "SS", instead of SATA0, etc..

  I boot from my CD of windows 7 Professional and try to fix the system, but he said something like a different type of system.

  What a bad upgrade experience and please help me to recover!

  P.S. This thread has been moved from workstations - Itanium-Based, hp9000, Visualize for workstations - w series, series z, legacy x and xw series. Forum Moderator - HP

  Not sure what would happen when your update of the system BIOS, but the BIOS flashing can be risky, especially if you get a power disruption or during the writing of the BIOS itself, there are a few other firmware issue. For this reason I almost always perform updated the BIOS when the system is connected to the inverter to limit the outages momentary causing failures flash.

  HP also have even known to release a BIOS and then remove it on their download page for undocumented reasons. These reasons may or may not be related to flash failures or other problems, we do not know, only HP really knows, but they don't say.

  For your Z620, you can see the gaps in the list of the BIOS version specified in the last note of release of the BIOS itself. In fact the release notes state that you require 1.07 update to 3.52 or later and says that he must first update to 1.23 (which curiously is not included in the version below the list!).

  So you SHOULD ALWAYS read the BIOS release notes. In fact, you should read all release notes of all BIOS versions available in order to make sure that you know what has changed and what prerequisites indicators exist. It's tedious but better than a flash failure.

  Anyway, from the issue date BIOS, you will notice that your BIOS must be at 1.07 or later to be able to upgrade successfully to a BOS 3.05 or later version. Therefore, you should check to see what BIOS you have done and if you have < 1.07 you MUST update to the latest version of the BIOS BIOS 1.x (to 1.14 BIOS of my reasoning, because it is the most recent in the history of the versions) as it is a sine qua non.

  In fact, I would update BIOS 1.14, then update a BIOS 2.08, then BIOS 2.55 before if we consider a 3.05 BIOS and more late a 3.69 BIOS updated. It is pedantic, Yes, but perhaps a bit more secure (especially if you use an inverter). I always check the version of the BIOS and BIOS (and so the BIOS settings) after each flash before jumping into the OS...

  But even if you cannot start the operating system, you should be able to Flash the BIOS as follows:

  • install 7-zip on a work computer
  • Download the bios appropriate 1.14 or 3.69 for your system and save it
  • Right click the bios file saved, spxxxxx.exe, and then select < 7 - zip > < archive open >
  • Double-click the folder (not name) stated in 7 - zip file manager
  • Double-click on "bios falsh.htm" and read the "flash back" and or sections of "failsafe bootblock recovery."
  • Follow the appropriatesection of those that you just read...

  Therefore, if your system messages, and you can actually get into the BIOS, use the flash BACK method. And depending on what version of BIOS your system indicates boot buring, flashing the BIOS is appropriate (if the system shows BIOS 1.14 1.x then flash, if the system indicates BIOS 3.x then flash 3.69). I hope that this will ensure that your BIOS has been flashed properly.

  Once you are sure that the BIOS is the correct version and date, then look at all the parameters and, hopefully, HARD drive names are listed correctly and your boot disks/raid volume can be found.

  It's also a good idea to go into the BIOS and hit < LTRC > < A >, then go in "system ID and check the entries against the labels on your machine." Pay special notice that the BuildID, SKUNumber & ProductName in BIOS match labels (because they must be correct for the HP system to work recovery discs)...

  The only other thing I can think is that you had two or more HARD drive in a RAID configuration and RAID configuration somehow I messed up. If you use RAID, maybe watch the configuration by pressing CTRL + R or CTRL-C while booting. Do not change anything, because you might lose your data, just look.

  If these things do not help, you will need to be very precise about what you did, what configuration you have, state that the system is and what error messages you receive. You can use a camera and post here as appropriate as someone may be able to help and take some snaps different pages problem BIOS configuration screens, configurations, error messages or other...

  It is also unknown if you use an image from HP and referring to HP system recovery disks or you did (re) installed a vanila MS Win7Pro OS using a disc to install MS Win7. And write "something like a different type of system" is not as useful as the actual error message you get.

• Should I update my Macbook 2009 end of El captain?

  My Macbook is an end of 2009 one, with an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26 GHz processor, a chip of 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory and an NVIDIA GeForce 9400 M 256 MB graphics card. There are currently about OS X 10.9.5, and I've seen articles recently talk of a huge hole being patched in OSX recently. I know not if my Macbook update is worth the risk, because it works very well at the moment and I need for classes, but I don't want it to be dangerous. Should I update to El Captain, wait for macOS Sierra to do this, or keep on Mavericks?

  Thank you

  I can only say that the latest security updates are installed when you upgrade to the latest version of Mac OS X. Now El Capitan. If you wait or not depends on if Apple releases always updates to security for the Mavericks, and if you install these updates.

• Should I update my MacBook 2010?

  Should I update my MacBook 2010? I am a novice and mainly to store photos, e-mail and internet. Thanks in advance.

  Mac OS X 10.6.8

  The specifications are: MacBook7, 1

  Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz

  L2Cache: 3MB

  Memory: 4 GB

  Bus speed: 1.07 GHz

  In General, you should always pass to the last possible system like you meet the specs for, as long as you do not have "must have" applications that do not meet specifications. Upgrades and updates contain important security as well as additional functionality enhancements.

  Although Apple has 2 GB of RAM 4-6 GB is really a minimum. Your using be expandable to 16 GB. You can check that the CrucialAdvisory tool, or OWC. After adding RAM, I'd update to El Capitan.

• Should I update iMac 21.5 mid 2011?

  When I got my new iMac iRetina my old iMac was put in mothballs. By this, I mean that he sat at a desk not used for more than a year. My wife wants to start using it and I just turned it on and a miracle happened, it works. I thought I had left it in a State ready to be configured for a new user, but it is apparently already configured to connect to my apple id because I see an option to close your session with my name on it. Two questions: 1) how that it is configured to check? Since we went with the iOS devices, we used the same ID apple so if we buy apps, they are working on one of the devices. (2) it is a 21.5 "mid-2011 with an Intel Core i5 to 2.7 ghz and 1333 mhz 24 GB DDR memory. He is currently in OS X Lion 10.7.5. What OS should I update 1) this iMac can deal with good performance and 2) is free? Did someone using Open Office for the iMac? If yes it you please?

  1. System Preferences > users and groups > Admin account

  System Preferences > iCloud > sign in

  If it is not configured as you wish, the easiest would be to wipe the drive with disk utility and reformat. Then, in the wizard configuration, make your choice.

  2. you can upgrade directly to El Capitan 10.11.5

  In General, you should always pass to the last possible system like you meet the specs for, as long as you do not have "must have" applications that do not meet specifications. https://support.Apple.com/kb/SP728?locale=en_US

  Several things you should do before moving...

  1. If you have questions on your current system don't their compound by installing above them. Solve them first, and then upgrade.

  2. check HARD drive for free space. At least 8.8 GB of available storage. Preferably more.

  3. check your applications for compatibility here... http://roaringapps.com/apps

  4 make a bootable clone SuperDuper! or clone double or use TimeMachine.

  5. unplug all devices, including USB hubs.

  6. After downloading the installer, it will be in the folder/Applications. Copy and then drag it to a different places like downloads.

  7 be patient, the download takes a long time, and the installation may appear as sometimes it is dead. Ignore it.

• 750-103D wanted: should I update to the latest drivers listed on 14 August 2016

  I bought my office on 15 August and just noticed that the HP customer online support shows most, if not all latest drivers appear on 14 August.
  
  My office is currently superbly and I wonder if it is really necessary to update the latest drivers that I remembered some experts counsel that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
  
  So I should or should not update the drivers?
  
  Expert IT advice are welcome. Thank you.

  Vincemy82

  The date of the driver that you see on the site of HP is probably wrong.  That is the date that the web page was last updated by HP, not the date, that the drivers have been released.

  To view the date of the driver, you must click on the Details tab for each of the drivers.  You will see then probably much more ANCIENT date of actual output for each driver.

  Good luck

• Should I update all the files from the Toshiba site after using the recovery CD

  I just used my recovery CD and update the Windows Update System.

  The question is: should I update all files in the files on this site download section as well?

  Usually after using the Toshiba Recovery CD everything should works and works correctly
  To my knowledge from time to time Toshiba has released new version of some tools or drivers. For example the BT stack will be developed all the time.
  But I think that if you have any problems with your system and peripherals, then you don't need t to update anything.
  Small is my opinion...

• HP 15-af131dx: should I update windows 10 birthday?

  Should I update to windows 10 birthday? Someone had problems with the update?

  To install the updated Windows 10 anniversary choice you completely. Yes, people have had problems with the update. If you need the use of the computer and can not afford to face questions, you can wait on the installation of the update. If problems occur during or after installation, and you can manage it, you can install the update. I suggest creating a Windows repair disc and do a Windows system image backup before installing the update.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• Should I update to 9.2.1 on my iPad iOS 3 (iOS 8.4)?

  I have a 3 ipad 64 gb wifi only. I am currently on iOS 8.4, I think to update to iOS 9.2.1... Should I risk? I'm afraid that something will happen during the update, because my ipad is almost full (64 GB) and I do not have a backup and is not a portable computer to synchronize. Information on my ipad is important. and I fear that my iPad won't handle it and be very slow. Should I update?

  Without a backup I would not update. Very likely you can update without problem, but once in a while something goes wrong and you need to restore from a backup.

  You have a backup of iCloud?

  In any event a problem may occur any time so that you must always back up frequently

• Should I update my WNDR3400v3 to the Firmware 1.0.0.48?

  I see there's a 1.0.0.48 updated the firmware on the Netgear site, but control over the router software said: I'm updating even if I'm on 1.0.0.46. Should I update?

  Personally, I put because it is a new release.

  If you have a valid reason, of course, but if things are

  works well, why bother? I don't buy the idea to update

  because it is new. If you think that you have to try, then

  You can do it manually.

• Satellite A110: Graphics card is only 64MB after update 1.70 traditional Bios

  Hello!!

  I have toshiba satellite A110. I updated my bios to version 1.70, but now my video card is only 64 MB.

  What I can do for my back video card 128 MB or where can I find the update of the traditional bios to this bios version. Thank you

  Hello

  If only a BIOS version was published on the page when there is only one version!
  But there is no difference between the update of the traditional Bios and the BIOS from windows update.

  The State of the BIOS is the same.
  I mean the traditional Bios and BIOS of windows support the same features and only update procedures are different!

  I think that your laptop supports a 945GM Intel 8MB - 128 MB shared memory graphics memory. Am I wrong?
  The Intel graphics card automatically assigns to the amount of memory. This means the graphic driver memory sharing controls and the value is not fixed, but it always changes!

• Should I update my graphics driver in Bootcamp?

  As you may know the Crimson AMD came out. I know Bootcamp has a more specific driver so a good idea or not upgrade to Crimson AMD?

  My graphics card is R9 M370X

  Thanks in advance.

  Certainly, you should.

  The Boot Camp drivers are a good starting point and install everything you need to get started (for example with respect to the characteristics of specific hardware Apple).

  But the boot camp drivers are not updated very often, and you should definitely update AMD drivers for the graphics card that are probably much more recent than what Apple has included in its software support for Boot Camp.

  For example, I have a NVIDIA card, and regularly update drivers GeForce GeForce experience every month or more.

  You can also search the drivers updated from Microsoft via Device Manager (including the adapter as shown above display and system devices).  For example, access device, system devices Manager, open each device and select drivers, update drivers (online search).

  Last but not the least, check from time to time Apple Software Update (on Windows).

  should I update windows so I changed my destop for files archive programs and now cannot open also my Start menu has also changed

  Hi acrhive Rar.

  Unfortunately, there is no way to cancel the option archive other than to do all the files one by one.

  If you used the shortcuts application option, then I will suggest you to create a new user account and check

  He should also take care of the start menu.
