This is a short video showing a BIOS being updated directly in Windows . The BIOS Flash program installed the new BIOS onto the computer and it was all done directly in Windows. The BIOS Flash utility ran in Windows XP and the BIOS is erased and reprogrammed all in the Windows environment. It is usually uncommon for a BIOS to be flashed directly in Windows. Normally, the BIOS is flashed outside of Windows but it is not common for the BIOS to be flashed in Windows. Most manufacturers usually would have a BIOS Update Utility for Windows but then the utility shuts down Windows and loads the BIOS flash program outside of the OS and then after the BIOS is fully updated then the computer will reboot normal and boot back up into the OS. A certain amount of models and makes (e.x Dell Vostro 220) have a BIOS Flash program which updates the BIOS and flashes the BIOS directly in the Windows environment but for most models they have a BIOS Upgrade Utility for Windows which runs in Windows and once you start the update in Windows, the computer will reboot and load the BIOS Update Utility outside of Windows and flash the new BIOS from outside of Windows and once it's done it reboots normally and starts back up the OS. Thanks for watching! The last part of this video shows the computer booting up with the new BIOS successfully installed directly in Windows.
