He everyone! I was wondering,how do I update my Bios? I use the Z77A-G45 Gaming MOBO of MSI. I downloaded the lastest Bios update through Live Updater 5. Opened the .exe file and it says that I need to close all my running apps and [Disable] the item [bIOS Protection] in the BIOS Setup first. Question is,i don't see an item named [bIOS Protection]. (note*I was using the Click BIOS 2). And is it safe for me to update my BIOS? I read in the other forums that it is really dangerous and they don't recommend it much. Thanks in advance! :)

If you don't need an update, you don't update.

What's a Jedi change?

 

If you don't need an update, you don't update.

Well,i recently upgraded to 8.1 Pro...and there's this water mark at the bottom right of my Pc saying that Secureboot isn't configured properly even though I already enabled secureboot at my OS. My friend said i should try updating my Bios :/
