Like the title says, I have been having issues with RAM stability (with and without XMP, memtest86 says nothing is wrong) and I think a BIOS update could fix it, but there's something about an ME update on the BIOS download page and I don't know if I should update it before or after the BIOS update. Current BIOS version is 0810 Would this be the install process? 0810 - Current MEUpdateTool 1001 and later Also idk if I should install the beta BIOS update, which says that it has Windows 11 support, but 7th gen Intel doesn't support it Specs: CPU: i7 7700 MB: Asus B250M-A RAM: 16GB DDR4 2133Mhz GPU: HD630 IGPU SSD: 500GB PNY SATA SSD

Avoid setting up the beta BIOS. It's unclear why Asus would back Windows 11 on that model when the 8th generation isn't supported. Perhaps they hope some users will use a modified version of Windows 11? The site mentions version 1205 comes with the Intel ME update.

Also, there's a newer version of the Intel ME version 11.8.55.3510 dated Aug 27, 2018. So a few months after BIOS 1205 was released. I would install that BIOS first, then run the Intel ME update 11.8.55.3510

Update the newest BIOS versions—it covers all features. For Intel 6000 series, Windows 11 works with a fresh install or an upgrade from Windows 10 via the ".\setup.exe /product server" approach. Skip the risky Rufus method; use standard 11 without Secure Boot or TPM requirements when you can run the official 11 on these processors.

No, you don't need to keep updating the BIOS continuously.

The system satisfies all conditions and using TPM 1.2 avoids any complications. This is because each update incorporates improvements from earlier releases.

No, unless a specific upgrade route is mentioned. I don't notice any such path from ASUS. It should be possible to jump to the newest BIOS. But it's conceivable it could reset all your BIOS configurations back to defaults. That's not an issue, just make sure you note (screenshots) any custom changes you want to retain.

I’m proceeding with the change? Updated from 0810 to 1205. This machine will handle office tasks and 3D modeling; soon I’ll upgrade to an RX580. The operating system will be Windows 10 LTSC IoT 2021.

Microsoft's upcoming update may affect older PCs with certain CPU requirements. The changes could become permanent if the 8th generation processor is not supported. This information was updated on March 29, 2025 by StDragon.
