How to Check Your BIOS Version

Knowing your current BIOS version is important for selecting the right update and verifying your firmware is up to date.

Windows

1. Press Win + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog.
2. Type msinfo32 and press Enter.

3. In the System Information window, look for the BIOS Version/Date row. It will show something like:

   Field	Value
   System Model	your specific configuration — 11th/12th/13th Gen Intel or AMD
   BIOS Version/Date	INSYDE Corp. (your BIOS version)

To update your BIOS on Windows, visit the BIOS & Drivers downloads page and select your device.

Linux

The commands below install the required tools (if not already present) and print your BIOS and CPU information.

Ubuntu

sudo apt install lshw dmidecode -y && clear && sudo dmidecode | grep -A3 'Vendor:\|Product:' && sudo lshw -C cpu | grep -A3 'product:\|vendor:'

Fedora

sudo dnf install lshw dmidecode -y && clear && sudo dmidecode | grep -A3 'Vendor:\|Product:' && sudo lshw -C cpu | grep -A3 'product:\|vendor:'
