It depends on how the update is done, but I would recommend before if possible.

I have the compressed BIOS update file on the windows-10 desktop. Instructions say to uncompress and copy to a USB stick that "must use the FAT32/16/12 file system".  Question: On that windows-10 (home) desktop, how do I format the stick to the appropriate file system?
