This is all a bit too cryptic for me.
Just went to grab the latest BIOS for my MSI Z690 Tomahawk and found an “ME update” linked beneath the BIOS file. Had to google what “ME” actually stands for (since MSI don’t seem to think it necessary to explain that, lol). Never messed with this before, so I have no idea what I should be doing - or rather in what order I should do it in.
It does seem that my installed files are out of date compared to the update:
… but I have no idea what order to do this stuff in. The SOP-file only contains two lines which, basically, say
- Unzip archive
- Run .exe, which will install the update.
Do I have to update the firmware before or after I flash the BIOS?
Anything else I need to do/watch out for besides grabbing and running that firmware-update?
S.
Same question I had with pretty much the same motherboard.
I updated the BIOS first, and that seemed to have updated the ME as well. I checked by running the “MSI ME FW Tool.exe” provided below the BIOS file, and the “current version” and “target version” were the same. I thought I still had to run it, but you do not if you update the BIOS (For certain vendors). Still doesn’t hurt to download their tool and see.
Which, when I did Google about the ME, most answers stated that most BIOS updates include it now, so.
