bios Save BIOS settings externally

[killerkirby]

Hello everyone!

 

I am knew to this forum, but not to the tech community. I'm looking to effectively save all the BIOS settings onto a USB. There is not an update or anything of the sort that I will be doing to the BIOS, I would just like to know if anyone knows of a way to just save the BIOS settings to a USB? I am trying to save the BIOS settings to make restoring an image using clonezilla onto a new computer a much quicker process.

 

Any help on this conundrum would be absolutely fantastic, I've been racking my brain for days!

Thank you in advance!

 

P.S(Unfortunately, I cannot give any detailed information about the computer itself or hardware, as I am under an NDA by my company)

I know some computers, if they are new enough, can have their settings saved to a config file that you can put on a USB, however this is slightly different for each computer.

Yeah, how this is handled is a board by board basis. I know my Asus B550 board has this functionality and it works quite well.

Yeah I can't give any hardware information out (NDA and what not). The motherboard though, as well as the BIOS is definitely sided more to company use rather than consumer.

 

If there's too little information then I understand, it was worth a shot.

No idea why a motherboard/PC model would be confidential info under an NDA, but whatever.

 

Anyway... if there's a way it'll be there somewhere in the BIOS menus.

Thank you Kilrah, that has helped a bit and I was informed I am able to give out the info on the motherboard (full custom work, so permission essentially was needed). It's a insydeh20, so as far as I've seen and searched, the only option that is the same as saving a profile would be saving custom defaults, but there is no export feature, option, or function.

I found out from the manufacturer (winsystems) that the only way to effectively(meaning export) save BIOS settings with their motherboard would be to custom order the motherboard with predefined settings. So seeing as it is not possible with this motherboard, I would like to conclude this thread as solved. Thank you everyone for your help!
