Quick Answer: Do I Need to Update Bios New Ssd?
Contents

Unless you are having any of the problems mentioned in the release notes for the new BIOS version, there’s really no need to update the BIOS.

Do I need to change BIOS settings for SSD?

For ordinary, SATA SSD, that’s all you need to do in BIOS. Just one advice not tied to SSDs only. Leave SSD as first BOOT device, just change to CD using fast BOOT choice (check your MB manual which F button is for that) so you don’t have to enter BIOS again after first part of windows installation and first reboot.

Is it necessary to update BIOS?

In general, you shouldn’t need to update your BIOS that often. Installing (or “flashing”) a new BIOS is more dangerous than updating a simple Windows program, and if something goes wrong during the process, you could end up bricking your computer.
