  • Should all BIOS be updated?

    Posted on February 27, 2025 at 03:00 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    This is a follow-up to my Patch Watch column on Monday. Should you update all computer systems and search out a new BIOS? In a word: No.

    If you are running Windows 10 on an older computer that will not support Windows 11 or you do not plan to upgrade to Windows 11, and your computer is running just fine, I see no reason to upgrade the BIOS.  My advice to seek out and upgrade your BIOS is only for those running Windows 11 23H2 who will be looking to go to 24H2 or are already there.

    Updating your BIOS isn’t quite as scary as it used to be, but when you have a functional system that you do not plan on upgrading, I don’t see a reason to. Do you?
