Updating Bios Help.

So I'm having trouble updating my bios for my board. When I download the latest update from the msi website, I open the folder with the files, it doesn't show the proper files. It shows 2 files when it should show 3. These are the files shown. http://prntscr.com/cbwk80 any help?

Why are you trying to update your bios?
Only do so if the update fixes a problem you are having.
DO NOT update on speculation.
CPU-Z will tell you your current level; the main bios display should also.

with new mb there only needs to be two files now one a readme of the bios update info and the bios file itself.
the bios files now need to be moved to a fat 32 formatted usb stick. plug the usb stick in and go to the bios. under the utlity tab is the bios updater tool. have it look for the bios file on the usb stick. as long as you put the right bios file that newer then the one on the mb it update the bios for you.

Do you recommend updating the bios?

yes most bios updates today are for new hardware or bug fixes. if it for one or the other you need to update the bios. if it just a update to change how the mb logo looks then no dont update for those kinds of updates.
