BIOS UPDATES???

[Kolslahtmac]

Hello everyone one I'm very new to this I just bulit my first pc and I figured this would be a good place to have discussions. Quick overview of my build 7600k, MSI SLI PLUS motherboard, gtx 1070. So I was just curious I didn't update my bios before installing windows and using my pc, I have been using and loving it for 2 weeks now. I was just curious what happens when I update my bios? Will I lose every thing or what? Please help and thank you for your time.

The operating system and data is stored on your HDD and/or SSD. When you update the BIOS it will only modify the information on the motherboard itself and will not impact the operating system or any of your files.

If you configured the BIOS to with any settings such fan profiles or overclock etc these will be lost.

 

If you are not having stability issues, and there are no change logs relevant to resolving an issue you are having or new feature that you need, updating the BIOS is not needed.
