Update Dell BIOS, firmware, and drivers

Before you begin

You may need to restart your device to complete the installation. To prevent data loss, we recommend you save your work before you install updates.

Connect your device to a power adapter to enable all updates and prevent system instability.

Important: Your power adapter and peripherals, such as docking stations, must remain connected during BIOS and firmware updates. Disconnecting from your power source or peripherals during updates may cause system instability or peripherals might become unusable. If you use a laptop with a docking stations, we recommend you keep your laptop lid open during BIOS and firmware updates.
