abachmannYes, ten years ago. Dell's BIOS update tools are Windows applications for some years now.rdunnillabachmannHow should a 32 bit Windows Application run on a 16 Bit DOS environment?rdunnillHave you tried performing this upgrade from a DOS-booted USB flash drive? That's how I updated my XPS 8500 to A10.
It's a DOS application. That's typically how BIOS updates are performed.
I updated the BIOS of my XPS 8500, a model from last year, from a DOS-booted flash drive. BIOS version A10 was released in March of this year.
Even if a Windows version is available, DOS is the safest way to perform this risky operation that can "brick" your motherboard if it fails.
