Intel core 0x12B microcode update?

I just ordered an XPS with Intel i9-14900  with but then came across this:

https://community.intel.com/t5/Blogs/Tech-Innovation/Client/Intel-Core-13th-and-14th-Gen-Desktop-Instability-Root-Cause/post/1633239

I'm wondering if this issue will be fixed in the desktop I will soon receive? And if not, how can I do this update myself?

When you receive your desktop, assuming that is XPS 8960, verify if it has the BIOS firmware version 2.11.0 or higher, that was released to address and maintains stability of 13th and 14th generation Intel processors.

If the desktop has older BIOS firmware version, you can download and update it yourself.  Links are below:

For XPS8960_2.11.0_x64.exe firmware, download it from here  https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=11ddv&oscode=w2021&productcode=xps-8960-desktop

For XPS8960_2.12.0_x64.exe latest firmware, download from here https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=jjmjr&oscode=w2021&productcode=xps-8960-desktop
