My B450 Aorus M is currently at BIOS Version F30. I would like to update it to the latest version, F64A. Reading thru the BIOS Downloads Page (https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B450-AORUS-M-rev-1x/support#support-dl-bios), several of the intervening versions carry statements indicating that updates to intermediate levels, as well as various software utilities, need to be applied along the way. I am hoping that someone with experience installing BIOS upgrades may be able to indicate if more streamlined methods of upgrading to the most recent BIOS version are possible - shortcuts if you will - or whether I need to spend the best part of a day dotting the I's and crossing the T's.

Note: I am trying to resolve the Slow Boot problem, whose solution is described elsewhere in this forum: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/long-boot-time-on-the-gigabyte-b450m.3574579/. Obviously, the slow boot is going to make all of the steps up through version F50 quite grueling.

Thanks in advance.
