It doesn’t matter if you buy one of the latest laptops, or if you build your own. At some point, you might need to carry out a BIOS update or make some changes to the software. We will help you learn how to update BIOS on Windows 11, so keep on reading. 

Over the years, arguments have been made that it is best to leave your BIOS as is. This is because the wrong updates can mess up your PC and leave you with regrets.

You must remember, however, that at some point important fixes will be needed. This is why it is always a good idea to familiarize yourself with updating procedures.

To carry out this update, you might need to do it directly. Unfortunately, there’s no single solution that covers every computer. The updating process is peculiar to specific computers.

For instance, the process for updating BIOS on Asus Windows 11 and on HP Windows 11 will be completely different. 

Why is BIOS so important?

BIOS is an acronym for Basic Input Output System, a software that works with the computer’s motherboard. 

This software allows computers to carry out certain operations as soon as they come on. It controls the early stage of the startup process, making sure that the OS is appropriately loaded into memory. 

The BIOS plays a role in keeping your computer secure. The boot process can be password-protected in most BIOS software versions, which means you must provide a password before any BIOS action can take place.

Because the BIOS performs nearly all of its duties during startup, the entire computer is effectively password-protected.

Do I need to update BIOS on Windows 11?

Windows 11 comes with a lot of system requirements on both the software and hardware end. One of these requirements is the Trusted Platform Module 2.0 (TPM). 

The purpose of the technology is to securely store your login information on the system. However, in most cases, the TPM isn’t on by default. You’ll have to restart your computer and go into your BIOS settings to change it.

Finding the TPM function can be quite cumbersome, especially for the less tech-savvy people. However, if everything is up to date, you might not need to go through the stress of manually configuring it. 

It is necessary that we reiterate the importance of backing up your data before starting this process. You must also make sure to have a reliable power source before you start off.
