trying to update BIOS "This app can't run on your PC"

[atavax]

I download the bios update from Gigabyte and extract it. Run the application, it says don't run, I put run anways and then it says this app can't run on your PC. I double check, it says X570S AORUS MASTER in dxdiag and that's the motherboard i downloaded a bios update for.. The only thing that doesn't exactly 100% match is the Gigabyte sites says X570S AORUS MASTER (rev 1.0) but that is the only version of the X570S AORUS MASTER on their site, which i know i have.

Is it an exe file? Don't update from within windows. Bios update programs have a tendancy to brick systems. It's better to download the bios fil itself and update through the bios. The exact procedure will vary, but it usually involves copying the bios file to the root of a flash drive and then following the prompts in the bios.

for file type, the one i'm trying to run says application for file type. There are 4 files in the folder. An 

name: autoexec type: windows batch file size 1 KB  

name Efiflash type application size 103KB

name X57SAOMA.F4d type F4D File 32,768 KB (F4D) is the version of the bios

name readme text document "

Usage :
    efiflash [Input or Output File Name] [Command]..

   Switch options for Efiflash.exe:
    /C - Clear DMI data. (default: Keep DMI data)
    /S - Save Original BIOS Image to Disk
    /R - Reboot System after BIOS Update
    /DB- Update both main & backup BIOS

is the X57SAOMA.F4d  the file that i would want to put on a flash drive?

Yes. Put that file on a flash drive and use the BIOS flash utility within the bios to perform the flash.
