I have downloaded the latest BIOS version's update file mb_bios_b450-aorus-elite_f51.zip from Gigabyte's support site. The zip archive contains 4 files : B450AE.F51 Efiflash.exe autoexec.bat readme.txt Since I have never updated BIOS before, I will appreciate assistance in what I have to do next. In my understanding, I should 1) Extract the zip's contents somewhere 2) Format a USB pen drive /dev/da0s1 as msdosfs 3) Copy the zip's contents to /dev/da0s1 4) Boot from the pen drive A couple of questions: 1) Is simply booting from the pen drive enough or do I have to carry out some commands ? I do not think I should have to carry out any commands because autoexec.bat contains the required command : (efiflash.exe B450AE.F51) 2) There are multiple BIOS updates available at Gigabyte's support website between my current BIOS version (F5) and the latest BIOS version (F51). Can I directly update from F5 to F51, or whether each BIOS update in between has to be carried out sequentially ? That really would be a nightmare ! Thanks for any help, Manish Jainhome | help
