Thinkpad Helix 2 - Old Bios (1.77) Update (2.16-2020) done ...
Posted: Sun Oct 26, 2025 9:31 am
Hello,
I still have a viable Helix 2 8GB, that does run Win11, if asked for. But it did run the oldest Bios possible (Version 1.77 2015) and it did not accept updating.
Or so it seemed... I reverted to installing the Software and started the update-process (although logged-in as admin) via rightclick on the Update(64)-exe
as admin ... this time no problem, the update started, closed and restarted the system as usual and neccessary...
All done, the updatesystem seem to be the old one (2011-2017)... It took me time ... but its done now...
