How to upgrade Area 51 R2 Bios A01 to A12
How can I upgrade Area 51 R2 Bios A01 to A12? Tried upgrading to A01 to A12, it prompt a window to update and asked for a restart after completion. After restarting it was still A01.
I have also found A04 online and tried upgrading A01 to A04 but same results, after restarting it was still A01.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Justz78,
You can also try a power drain before the update.

may i ask what exactly happened? you performed the Power Drain and then you were able to Update the BIOS from Version A01 to A12? i'm asking because there are Confusing Reports on the Net. some People claim having Issues when they try to Skip some BIOS Versions.

No I performed the power drain and was able to update from A01 to A04. Then I followed with A08 and A12. Not sure if power drain did the trick or that I uninstalled the Windows 10 Creators' update. The update kept crashing my computer. After restoring to the previous version of Windows 10 and power drained I was able to update from A01 to A04 and so on. Hope this helps. I didnt try A01 to A12 though after performing power drain.

ah okay then.
i've had similar Issues with Creators Update. at some Point i gave up fixing all the Problems and re-installed Windows 10.
Thanks for your Reply.
