PRECAUCIÓN: If BitLocker is not suspended before updating the BIOS, the next time you reboot the system
it will not recognize the BitLocker key. You will then be prompted to enter the recovery key to progress and
the system will ask for this on each reboot. If the recovery key is not known this can result in data loss or an
unnecessary operating system re-install. For more information on this subject, see Knowledge Article: https://

BIOS Update
You can run the BIOS update file from Windows using a bootable USB drive or you can also update the BIOS from the F12
One-Time boot menu on the computer.
Most of the Dell computers built after 2012 have this capability, and you can confirm by booting your computer to the F12
One-Time Boot Menu to see if BIOS FLASH UPDATE is listed as a boot option for your computer. If the option is listed, then the
BIOS supports this BIOS update option.
NOTA: Only computers with BIOS Flash Update option in the F12 One-Time boot menu can use this function.
Updating from the One-Time boot menu
To update your BIOS from the F12 One-Time boot menu, you need the following:
USB drive formatted to the FAT32 file system (key does not have to be bootable)
BIOS executable file that you downloaded from the Dell Support website and copied to the root of the USB drive
AC power adapter that is connected to the computer
Functional computer battery to flash the BIOS
