How to Update Your BIOS Using Aegis USB Drive

Are you looking for an easy and straightforward way to update your motherboard's BIOS using an Aegis USB drive? Look no further! In this article, we will guide you through the process of creating a bootable BIOS device and updating your BIOS.

To begin, make sure you have downloaded the latest BIOS file from MSI's official website. You can find it by searching for your motherboard model on their website. For example, if you're looking for the BIOS update for the MPG Z390M GAMING EDG AC, simply input the product name in the search bar and select the 'Download' option.

Once you have downloaded the file, extract its contents to a folder on your computer. Then, plug in your Aegis USB drive and open a folder on your computer. Right-click on the USB drive and select 'Format' to format it as FAT32 or NTFS. Make sure to choose 'FAT32' as this is the only file system supported by M-FLASH.

After formatting the USB drive, copy the extracted BIOS file into the root directory of the drive. Then, restart your computer and enter the BIOS menu by continuously pressing the key on startup. Once in the BIOS menu, select the option to enter the BIOS update environment.

Finally, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the BIOS update process. Make sure not to copy the file to any other folder on the USB drive as this may cause abnormality during reading.

It's worth noting that all data will be wiped when performing the disk formatting, so please make sure to backup your important files before proceeding with the operation. Additionally, ensure that your USB flash drive has a capacity of 32GB or below and is formatted in FAT32.

With these simple steps, you should now have successfully created a bootable BIOS device using an Aegis USB drive and updated your motherboard's BIOS.
