GA-870A-UD3 v3.1 BIOS upgrade in Windows 10?

[hoytpr]

I have a Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3 v3.1 and it says I CAN upgrade to AM3+ processor capability with a BIOS upgrade. But I can't find a BIOS upgrade utility that works for Windows 10 64-bit. Anyone out there know of a way to do this?
Thanks!

Updating the BIOS/UEFI is not the easiest process. You need to go to the page for your board and go to the downloads/drivers and they should have a download for the bios file. You place this on a usb flash drive, one that is somewhat good quality and then enter the bios of the board. There should somewhere be a utility to flash/update the bios. You will select the drive and update it. Know that if you ever loose power, unplug the sub drive, or do anything but wait and let it do its thing, it will fail, and brick your board and you will need to get a new one. If it ever seems to be frozen and stuck, don't touch that power button or anything. Just let it do its thing until it tells you to do something. I suggest you watch some videos just to learn what you are getting into. Good luck!
