GA-H77M D3H Bios missing ?

<< < (2/2)

Now logged in from the up and runing pc.
One question left. Just curiousity. When bios was restored from back up it showed version F9
(while before crashing it had beta F14) I have now updated (from within Windows 10 using @bios)) to F12.
I know, potentionally risky, but it worked. After restarting bios showed version F12.
Is version F12 now also written to back up bios or will that remain F9 ?

Greetings,
That's a good question.

If your board has BIOS switches, and they are not set for Dual BIOS operation, its possible to maintain two separate BIOS revisions and start the system from either depending on switch settings.  If no switches exist or Dual BIOS mode is set active, the BIOS will synchronize, so both would be F12 (if this was true in your case).

My advice, don't use @BIOS.  You are asking for trouble.  Risky, yes, it introduces another potential point of failure.

You can back up and flash within the existing BIOS.  Safest way, not going to harp on it any more.

One thing I will reiterate though...  Back up, Back up, Back up.

Macrium, Acronis, CloneZilla, even window back up..  just pick one   ;) 

Cheers
