Updating bios for the first time

[Damai123]

Hey guys, 

 

I want to update my bios because of some issues with my pc and I was recommended to update my bios. 

Now. I have a X370 MSI gaming plus motherboard. And i checked my biosversion which was: 5.00 (I checked it in cmd with command: wmic bios get smbiosbiosversion)

So I went to MSI's website and looked up the newest bios version for my motherboard (https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/X370-GAMING-PLUS.html).

However the name of the new versions ( 7A33v5D ) aren't even close to the name of my current version ( 5.00 ). Did I do something wrong or is it just fine to update my bios with the version i mentioned?

 

Thanks for all help in advance.

This is your version, note the 50 in the end: 7A33v50

This is the newest version: 7A33v5D, so it is version 13.

 

So it will work fine, next time if you want to know your full bios version look at it in bios, not in windows.

What usb port did you plug the stick into?

Try the backpanel usb 2.0 ports.
