Installation instructions:
Updating the BIOS from Windows
Note 1: Before updating the BIOS, ensure that you suspend BitLocker encryption on a BitLocker-enabled system. If BitLocker is not enabled on your system, you can ignore this step. For information about how to disable BitLocker, see How to Enable or Disable BitLocker with TPM in Windows at support.dell.com.
Note 2: Do not turn off power or interrupt the BIOS update process during the update.
Note 3: Your system requires a restart after installing the BIOS. The restart can be deferred but must be completed to ensure that the update is installed.

2. Click Save to save the file to your hard drive.
3. Browse to the location where you downloaded the file.

You may find the latest BIOS in Optional Updates in Windows. Check the box next to the firmware update. When clicking on power, BIOS will install upon clicking on Update & Restart or Update & Shut Down. Be sure to do nothing with the PC while it installs. May even get a black screen momentarily. You will get a screen with BIOS progress bar. I've done this myself.
