Will this work on a 2006 dell dimension e520?

Thanks for this video i've just updated the BIOS on my OptiPlex 9020 it took about 5 minutes and all seems good so cheers for this info on how to do it

I have to say, I really hate Dell's bloatware that's on the machines but I use Dell's "Dell command update" software and just let it scan the system and pick the most resent drivers for that model of PC/laptop so I don't have to go out to their support page and hunt for anything. The bios updates are included in it as well. Figured I would just mention it cause its actually decent software for getting updates if you're not tech savvy. Thanks Bri! Love the videos and the channel!

Awesome video thank you so much!

Great video....Thank you

HELLO! I have an old Dell Vostro 1000 with a new Win 10 & Activation Key! Where can I get the Updated BIOS Version since tell does not support my laptop anymore please reply?

I am upgrading from an A18 BIOS to A22. But when I click the Upgrade program, It won't work. Can you help me?

I have issues with my laptop. I have Checked all the Boot Options at the Boot Options location and is at the Legacy. But why if I Press 12 there is no Boot Options found in the Boot arena. I'm using the Dell Latitude E5520 Series.

So, Ive checked my service tag, and Ive done all the steps but I CANT find the bios update! I just want to update my AURORA R1's bios to A05 then through A09.

Win11 does work just fine on this PC. May not be compatible as per MS but it works fine as I have a i3-7100T. No issues. You can disable the compatibility check when you install win11

I have an optiplex 790, I want to upgrade the processor to use an i5 3470 but after trying it turns out it can't, can updating the bios solve this problem?

can anyone help, I was having an issue after windows updated, i restored to a later drive, but when i went to restart the computer, it says drive not found so think bios is screwed up. If I hit f12 and go to windows boot, it loads windows fine so clearly there isn't anything wrong with my c drive which i already ran repairs and test on, all passed. it is a dell XPS 8920, any help appreciated

If you have a newer Dell PC (under warranty) the Dell utility software can find and install the BIOS update. It may also show in Windows Update as Micrsoft moved drivers to Windows Update in version 21H2.

Thanks for your video. Thought it would help me to fix a problem, but no... I've an Alienware (Dell) m15 R5 Ryzen Edition. I've been updating the BIOS around 6 or 7 times till I bought it around 18 months ago. But now, everytime I want to update the BIOS from the dedicated file to my PC from Dell website (the same in your video), when I double click on the executable file, an error message shows up after it loaded the file and says "ESP disk space not enough" and then closes the process ! So no more BIOS updates for me for this reason... Do you know how to fix that ? Thank you for your time anyway !

you might have to check the RAM QVL for that optiplex. All motherboards have a RAM qualified vendors list. It's a list of RAM that has been tested and proven to work with that specific motherboard. Also some motherboards are VERY strict when it comes to speeds and won't automatically change the speed or allow you to manually change the speed. I had that problem on my HP ProBook G4. I tried installing ddr4 3200 RAM but it only supports up to 2666 and the RAM wouldn't work at all and it wouldn't let me change the RAM speed.

Help. After it say restart, I only got black screen

wish there was a way to update bios outside of windows. I think my bios is corrupted cause I can no longer get into windows and even a fresh install gets 99% through and error says unable to install on this PC. Last resort would be a firmware update.

Well I won't use windows and I'm getting a refurbished Optiplex 790 mt variant. So yea I'm really hoping it has been fully updated to the latest but yeah I'm still not exactly finding an answer to this question in case it hasn't been fully updated, does the model I'm getting. allow for just flashing from a fat 32 filesystem USB storage and yes I know it has to be at least 32 gigabytes in size or less so yeah I'll be getting 8 gig ones as well. Yes, I'm a Linux user but do have a preference for BIOS being updated in the more correct way versus the microcode updates. Unetbootin seems to not work for many and I'm hesitant to even try that with my live USB Linux disk. So I'm just really hoping that it can updated through USB storage option within the BIOS. Yes the the 790 I'm getting has no hard drives, but I have 2 working ones already so once I'm sure that the BIOS is fully updated, I'll then install those 2 HDDs then install Linux. Can anyone help answer my question please. Thanks.

My DELL Inspiron 3511 came with Windows 11 installed, which promptly updated automatically when connected to the Internet. Then the DELL BIOS did the same, and again a few months later. My feeling is, neither Windows 11 nor the DELL BIOS have reached a desirable state of stability. Do you ever have to update the firmware in your car?

that's normal for almost every motherboard on the market. I have an ROG Strix B550 mobo and they release a BIOS update about every 3 or 4 months. Regarding the chipset it is usually recommended that you also update your mobo's chipset when you do a BIOS update, they kind of go hand in hand. Most people don't have to update the firmware in their car because it does it automatically, you just don't know it's happening because it's installing in the background. Infact I bet in 10yrs, with how vehicles are getting more and more electronics, every single car on the road will be getting regular firmware updates and that's when the robots/AI will take over...

How do I update the BIOS of my Dell latitude E5470. Currently the BIOS version is 1.22.3 installed on 2/17/2020. The latest BIOS for update is of version 1.33.3 which is released on 09 Nov 2022. Should I install this update or do I upgrade one step at a time as there are many versions available before the current latest version. My question or consern is can I skip all the updates and directly install the latest BIOS version. There are 9 BIOS version available before the latest 09 Nov 2022 version. So I am confused as how to go about installing these BIOS updates. I don't want to end up corrupting windows or motherboard.

I never usually update a mobo bios via the OS, I usually do it via a flashdrive and through the bios, but one day I saw MSI Center could update my mobo bios through the OS and decided to try it. It basically soft bricked my mobo. I just had a black screen for an hour until I finally said screw this, unplugged my system, downloaded the bios update on my laptop to a flash drive and used the bios flashback button on the back of my mobo. Thankfully that worked but for that entire hour with the blackscreen I felt like i was gonna crap my pants lol.

DUDE WE'RE GETT'N A DELL!!! lol, I just purchased a used optiplex 3070 SFF last night off ebay for my mom. Her current pc doesn't support Windows 11 and I can't upgrade the cpu in it (the mobo only supports up to an i5-6500 which also isn't compatible with W11). This Optiplex I got has an i5-9500 and 8GB of RAM with a measly 128GB SSD. I already ordered a 512GB M.2 NVME drive, and a 16GB (2x8GB) kit of RAM. I only paid $100 for the Optiplex and then $50 for the RAM and NVME drive togther so the entire PC is only costing me $170 after tax and shipping. If I were to build my mom a PC with the exact same specs it would have ended up costing almost $300+. One of the first thing's I plan on doing after installing the new RAM and cloning the sdd to the NVME drive is updating the BIOS. As you said it's cool that you are able to do it within Windows and not have to mess around with the BIOS in order to update it. Wish me luck, the Optiplex arrives in 2 days, hopefully it doesn't blow up in a week lol, thankfully the seller accepts returns though just incase.
