Hello,
I'm trying to update the BIOS on a MSI Z170 SLI Plus motherboard. This is my first build and I need to update the BIOS in order to install Windows 10.
Using my mac, I downloaded the BIOS update from the MSI website and saved it to a usb drive. When I run the usb in M-Flash, it shows the folder but none of the files are executable. Nothing happens when I click on any of them.
I looked online and saw some people saying that usb drives need to be properly formatted before they can be used to install a BIOS. I saw some mention that the flash drive needs to be in FAT or FAT32 format.
My question is this: is it possible that the proper files are not showing in M-Flash because I added them to the usb from my mac? If so, is there a way to accomplish this on a mac, or do I need to download the BIOS update and save it to the usb on a windows operating system?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
yeah that's prolly the problem is you are trying to do part of it with a MAC, when this is all windows stuff. install windows 8 on the rig, and then do the bios, format hd then install windows 10
