Dell BIOS update Used rufus to create a FreeDOS usb pendrive, then rebooted the Latitude 7290, using F12 to get to boot options, I had tried F1 but it's F2 on the 7290. From the F12 boot options menu there was a BIOS Flash Update option which found the update exe file on the usb pen drive. The BIOS upgrade went smoothly and the 7290 is now running "1.42.0" from the previous "1.33.0". 2600: The Gamer Club 153 Bath Lane
