We strongly recommend that you use an operating system-based utility if that option is open to you. The other is from within your operating system, using a BIOS flashing utility provided by the motherboard maker. One is from within the BIOS’ own interface, before your operating system has even started. There are two main ways to update your BIOS. Updating your BIOS/UEFI works almost exactly the same. UEFI comes with a long list of improved features compared to an old-school BIOS, but for our purposes there’s no real difference here. This is the fancy modern equivalent of a BIOS. While the common practice is still to use the term “BIOS”, most modern computers have something called a UEFI or Unified Extensible Firmware Interface. If there’s no highly desirable feature, major bugs or hardware upgrade on the cards, then you are probably better off leaving your BIOS alone. Motherboard makers usually have a CPU support list for each motherboard, which shows the BIOS version needed for that CPU as well.
CPUs that are released after your BIOS was created may not work unless you are running the latest version of the BIOS. You should also update your BIOS if there are critical security flaws that need patching or you intend to upgrade to a new CPU.
