    Was your bios updated in the last few years? Not when you updated it, but when the manufacturer pushed a newer update.

    If it’s older than 2023 then you’re screwed. If it’s been updated since then then you’re probably fine.

        They’re asking for the newest version of firmware available, not the one you have installed. Check the website of your motherboards manufacturer to see if they have anything.

              Seems like that is the only way for now, so I’ll backup stuff and do it. I’ve been reading so many opinions how important it even is, I don’t think it is going to impact my use case of the laptop.

              Thanks for responding!
