My ~2011 motherboards BIOS lets you reflash it from INSIDE the BIOS, from a connected readable storage device, i.e. a flash drive. It eliminates any need for OS-specific update tools. I am surprised this isn't more common.


This simply does not scale. Every single customer has to download the BIOS, usually from a questionable source, plop it on an unreliable flash drive, and then boot into the setup menu to manually select the right file. Our method will automate most of this process more reliably.
