Tecra A11 - Bios Update offered - necessary?
Posted: 13-Jun-2011 11:19

Hi - I've just been offered a BIOS Update for my Tecra A11-17N (Via Toshiba Service Station) - BIOS Update v3.10....

Clicking on the update doesn't offer any details as to what it contains/fixes/improves - it just says basically "install, and computer will re-boot a few times".

My Tecra is running perfectly - no issues at all. Should I ignore this?

Hi

In my personal opinion, the BIOS update is not necessary if you have no serious issues with the notebook. Fact is that BIOS update is always a sensitive procedure and if it’s not really needed, I would not do that…

I always follow this advice; never change a running system

You’re right. In this case you can ignore this update because everything works perfectly.

BIOS update is always a little bit risky so it shouldn’t be done just for fun. It’ should only be done if it’s really necessary and in your case you don’t need it.

So have fun with your Tecra A11 and you can forget the update
