Knowing the bios version is necessary first of all for reasons of its timely updating, which will optimize the operation of your personal computer. There are several ways to check the bios version. Read about some of them below.
Instructions
Step 1
Start your personal computer. You can determine the BIOS version by reading it in the upper lines of information that is displayed on the screen at startup. If you do not have time to navigate and read the required text, restart your computer again. As you may have guessed, you cannot restart your computer indefinitely, so if you can't read it quickly, do the following.
Step 2
Look at the BIOS version on the motherboard of your personal computer. To do this, you will have to open the system unit. Take a screwdriver and remove the screws that secure the side panel. Take it off.
Step 3
Examine the motherboard carefully. Find its name. The BIOS version should be indicated next to it. By and large, this is a primitive way. Better start BIOS and see its version directly there. To do this, when the computer boots up, press the delete key. Then use the arrows to navigate to Main and then to System Information. There you will find comprehensive information regarding bios.
Step 4
Go to the "Start" button menu. Select Run. At the command prompt, enter msinfo32. Then press the enter key. The System Information tool launches. In the corresponding section you can find all the information of interest about the bios. It is easier to navigate to System Information. Go to the "Start" button menu, select "All Programs", then "Standard" and "System Tools". In the latter, find the item "System Information".
Step 5
Try Everest Ultimate Edition. She will provide you with similar information. Run the program, find the item "Motherboard". Go to it. In the central window, you will find all the bios data, including version, year of manufacture and manufacturer information.
