Updating BIOS on Framework Laptop 13 11th Gen

Been noticing my fan spinning up more than usual lately and not sure what I need to do so just wanted to make sure I have everything updated first.

  • Laptop 13 11th Gen
  • Windows 10
  • BIOS VErsion/Date INSYDE Crop. 03.07, 2021-12-14
  • SMBIOS Version 3.3

Seems my BIOS is quite out of date, so not sure how I can proceed to update it:

From the link here, it seems to be for Win 11, will that work fine with Win 10? Do I need to upgrade to Win 11?

Can I just upgrade the BIOS directly to the latest version or do I need to go through older versions first one by one?

Can’t really seem to find any guides on this.

You probably can jump to the latest version with no issue…but why risk it. Just go one version at a time, I linked to every version you need in that post.

It gets even easier if you use the .exe files provided by Framework instead of the EFI shell method. Yes you can use the .exe files on Win 10 but you should update to Win 11 anyways since Win 10 loses security updates this Fall. So upgrade to Win 11 and then update your BIOS.
