BIOS(Basic Input/Output System) is the firmware interface between a PC’s hardware and its operating system. UEFI ( Unified Extensible Firmware Interface ) is a standard firmware interface for PCs. UEFI is a replacement for the old BIOS firmware interface.

The Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) 1.10 specifications. It is designed to improve software interoperability and address BIOS limitations.

Knowing your PC’s BIOS or UEFI version can tell you if you have the most up-to-date version or if you need to update from your PC or motherboard manufacturer’s support site. That is why you must learn to configure the BIOS of your PC correctly

We will show different ways to see the BIOS or UEFI Firmware in Windows 10

option one

To check the BIOS or UEFI firmware version in System Information.

• press the keys
• Win + R to open Run, type msinfo32 in Run.
• Click OK to open System Information.
• In the right pane of System Summary under System Information.
• See what the BIOS version or date shows for your version.

option two 

To check the UCII or BIOS firmware version in the DirectX Diagnostic Tool.

• Press Win + R keys to open Run, type dxdiag in Run
• Click or tap OK to open the DirectX Diagnostic Tool.
• On the System tab, look at the BIOS item under System Information to see what your current version is.

option three

To check the BIOS or UEFI firmware version in Registry Editor.

• Press Win + R keys to open Run, type regedit in Run and click
• You can also click OK to open the Registry Editor.
• Scroll to the key below in the left pane of Registry Editor.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\BIOS

• In the right pane of the BIOS key, look at the BIOSVersion string values
• BIOSReleaseDate to see your version and release date. (see screenshot below)

option four 

To check the BIOS or UEFI firmware version in command prompt.

• Open a symbol of the system.
• Enter the command below that you want in the command prompt and press Enter.

1. wmic bios get biosversion
2. wmic bios get maker, smbiosbiosversion
3. Systeminfo | findstr /C:LABIOS

option five 

To check the BIOS or UEFI firmware version in PowerShell.

1. Open PowerShell.
2. Enter the command below that you want to use in PowerShell and press Enter.

• (Local PC)
  Get-WmiObject win32_bios
• (Remote PC)
  Get-WmiObject win32_bios -computername <computername>
• Replace <computername> in the above command with the actual computer name of the remote PC you want to check the BIOS or UEFI version of.

For example: Get-WmiObject win32_bios -computername Brink-W10PC

option six 

To check the BIOS or UEFI firmware version by booting to BIOS or UEFI Firmware.

• To check the BIOS or UEFI firmware version using the BIOS menu
• Restart the computer.
• When the PC restarts, press F2, F10, F12 or Del to enter the BIOS or setup menu.
• You may need to press the key repeatedly.
• Boot times for some PCs can be very fast.

The exact key to press to access the BIOS menu will only be displayed briefly on the boot screen when the PC restarts.

You may need to read the manual or support site for your PC or motherboard for the specific procedure to boot into the BIOS. Sometimes the BIOS version will also be displayed on the boot screen. In such a way that it is in the BIOS where basic functions are configured that the PC

To check the UEFI firmware version from UEFI Firmware Settings

• Boot to UEFI Firmware Setup.
• Look for the UEFI version.
• Depending on your computer hardware, you will see different information.
• The UEFI version will usually be under the Main or boot tab.

A firmware is a computer program that determines the logic of the lowest level that manages the electronic circuits of a device, no matter what kind, it is made up of the electronics of the device , thus being the software that has a direct connection with the hardware.

Therefore, we can say that the firmware is the software that physically controls the hardware. For this reason it is so important to update the firmware correctly, since even the smallest error can mean that the device is damaged and in the end that damage is irreversible.

The firmware is very important for our devices , since it must fulfill three important functions which are:

• In the first place, it gives the system, in just a matter of seconds, the fundamental operating routines and the response to the usual requests that it receives and must satisfy the user.
• Secondly,another of the tasks that it performs is to establish a comfortable and simple interface so that in this way the configuration of the system can be started quickly and easily by using a certain series of parameters.
• Thirdly,we find ourselves with one of the most important functions that all firmware undertakes, we are talking about controlling and managing what is the boot of the device’s system, which would be the ignition.

Memory chips, printers, monitors and microprocessors ( phones, tablets and computers) , these are some devices that have firmware, in case you don’t realize a clear example of firmware is the BIOS program of a computer, it begins to work from the moment the machine is turned on.

A very important fact that firmware can be updated , since this helps to solve errors and increases performance. Although this kind of update is not often recommended because if a failure occurs, this can cause the device to stop working completely, but if this problem does not happen, the update has its advantages, for example, in certain devices it allows the increase of speed.

You don’t have to be an expert to be able to perform a firmware update, you just have to search for the firmware of your device and that’s it, there you can see if you really need the update or not. If you do not know how or where to look, we will indicate how to do it below.

To search for it on your computer in case you need to update your computer , follow these steps:

• Click on the Startbutton and enter Control Panel
• Then go to Systemand find Tools , then go to Device Manager.
• Scroll through the list until you find the specific device for which you want to check the
• Click on the list and there it will show you the firmware information.

To search for it on your mobile device to find out if everything is up to date is much easier and you must follow these steps:

• On Sony and Samsung devices you will need to go to Settings, then About device and last build number.
• On other devices you must enter Settings, then About the device, then Software Information and last Software Version.

With these indications you will be able to be informed about your firmware and if you need any kind of update. Something that can undoubtedly make life easier for everyone and that in turn would help us in our daily tasks, in this sense we are committed to downloading and updating the Android Firmware.
