Firmware update

Todays computers usually offers you the firmware updates (BIOS, motherboard, etc) via Windows, but we are not running Windows now.

So pay attention now, because it’s quite important. We are talking about a sort of a “hardware” upgrade here, when talking about BIOS and etc. So you don’t want a malfunctioning computer or that your computer doesn’t reboot.

So if there is any warnings or errors, you should take a close look of them.
