Thinkpads Forum

Hi Folks!

I have an X200s with quite an old bios and also an R500 which has quite an old bios, too...but both machines run stable and good,..now under Win10 Prof 64 Bit. And if everthing works fine i wouldn't do any upgrade...

Now i have purchased an X230 and i read about UEFI EDK2 Capsule Update Vulnerabilities....so is it enough to upgrade to 2.62 or will i really have to go to some higher version than this?

Because never change a running system.

So which bios version do i really need to have to upgrade to on this X230?

Any suggestions?

Thanks for input!

Kindly,

PAnDoRA

Howdy!

I also am using X230 with i7 and Win7 Home Premium 64-bit English.

Everything as is, nothing modified.
[OK, I lied, just upgraded to SSD and did Product Recovery].

And everything is running well!

Take it easy, stop worrying, and start enjoying your X230

I can tell you about my experience with BIOS upgrade on the X230 i5-3320M:
At that moment it had 8Gb DDR3 (4Gb DDR3 PC3-12800 @ 1600Mhz + 4Gb DDR3 PC-10600 @ 1333Mhz). Just after BIOS Flash to latest version, after the final restart it was just brick dead. Following others similar problems I removed a memory module and it started up. Later I upgraded the memory to 2x8Gb PC3-12800 @ 1600Mhz and it's working flawlessly. But i will never try a BIOS update, my Thinkpad is working very well as it is now.

So as far I can tell you, don't flash the BIOS if you use different speed memory modules.
