Dell Optiplex and Latitude BIOS

Keep your BIOS (basic input output system) current. Most people know to keep their operating system and programs up to date. Yet, most users overlook keeping the BIOS current.

What is BIOS?

BIOS is the software that runs the computer without using the operating systems or other programs.

What is my BIOS version?

When you start your computer, one of the first screens to appear is the BIOS screen. The BIOS version will be displayed on this page. Go to you computer manufacturer’s web site and find if your version is the most current. Most manufacture web sites have downloadable BIOS files with instructions for updating your BIOS.
Here is a list of Dell computers that I work with and their current BIOS version.
