Unless there is a problem with the current BIOS or there is a new feature
you strongly want., there is no need to update. If you do hold off updating
right now, familiarize yourself with what the update provides in case you
encounter problems in the future. It may be an issue with external hardware
which you currently do not own. Updating the BIOS or any firmware is very
similar from the user's viewpoint from a standard install and usually just
as easy. However, BIOS and firmware updates are always more risky. There
is a chance the computer or device can become a paperweight if it fails or
the power goes out at the wrong time! It is normally safe. Do not update
while doing something else at the same time, close all other windows, and
not during a thunderstorm.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Updates, Bios
Hi everyone,
I bought a new laptop last November. I have been sent some updates that
came
from the manufacturer.
A few of these have to do with updating the bios. I hav not done this
because my laptop continues to work just fine and secondly, I have been
told
that doing this is not as simple as just download/installing the usual
updates.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Russ
