Hi

I'm trying to BIOS from 0058 to 0073A of Motherboard Intel DQ77MK. its a system pulled Mobo.

when i try to update it's giving me " Current BIOS is an unsupported legacy BIOS" .

 

Then i searched some solution on Google and downloaded " Intel integrator assistant "

to update BIOS and Splash Screen of Mobo. but when i try to run assistant it gives me. The software is blocked for your protection"

 

Operating system is Windows 10 Pro recently Updated.

Mobo is DQ77MK.

 

Please help.

May sound silly but have you right clicked it and "run as administrator"? You never specified if you did.

 

possibly just trying to prevent you from modifying BIOS as thats usually a protected thing.

The board might not support upgrading to the latest directly. Try to install 070 first.

I'm surprised nobody already said it but, don't update your damn bios through the OS!

Do it in the BIOS itself. The only thing you need is the BIOS file and off you go.

RM Education are a large computer support company in the UK that works in the education sector. They used to manufacture hardware, such as computers, laptops, etc (or at least they'd rebrand models), but they were always crap. They left the hardware market a while ago and now focus on providing solutions to schools.

 

Have you read the Read Me file on the downloads page? It gives you instruction on how to update within Windows and also directly from the BIOS (the way that I'd recommend) https://downloadmirror.intel.com/27756/eng/BIOS Update Readme.pdf

Sure the bios hasn't been modified in such a way to prevent tampering (bios flash)

followed instruction but it gets stuck on splash screen after i press F7. i've formatted the flash drive to FAT-32 and NTFS coz i thought it might be file system error but no ! both times same problem.

depends how they have locked it.
Most would use a single write ROM that has had its circuit physically cut to stop another write. If that is the case then you would have to modify the board or bios, which tbh is not worth it.

They could have also locked it in software, where your current bios is looking for something specific in the newer bios. It stops custom bios installs. IF that's the case then you would need to find the upgraded bios from RM, and not the motherboard manufacture.
