[SOLVED] Windows 8.1 BIOS Update
February 1st, 2020
My Laptop drivers page:
http://www.sony-asia.com/support/product/SVS13118GN
I managed to update mine to R0143C5.0907 by searching for SVS13 version and found this: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/swu-download.pl?mdl=SVS13A190X&upd_id=7843
Although, on their page “Applicable Products and Operating Systems (see full list…)” it does not show my model number. However it displays plenty of Sony S Series, probably European version. My Bios is working normally, so i am assuming this bios is latest and is safe? Furthermore, I was wandering if this is the latest version shipped by manufacturer to consumers or are there any new ones i can update my windows 8.1 bios to?? Screenshot msinfo32:
Just because you upgrade your OS does not mean it requires any new Bios..
If it does, then it would be listed under normal support pages.
Rule 1 is that if it works, don’t fix it..
An incorrect Bios installed could easily brick you laptop!
yeh i never have seen bios updates for anything above windows 7 on me travels
My advice is to only update the bios if you have hardware issues..
In all my 30 years plus messing about with computers I’ve never had to update a BIOS. I did mess about with BIOS updates when Windows XP first came out but that was about learning how to do it rather than out of necessity.
Think of your BIOS like a woman, unless it gets really naggy don’t upgrade without good reason, and make sure she/it comes from good stock (ie manufactures website).

You must have had a few good pokes in those early years
if it ain’t…, well you know. in my 30 plus years I have screwed the pooch on many, many occasions by precisely this sort of misadventure.
