Problem with Updating BIOS

[phdstudent]

My motherboard is H97M Pro4. I was trying to update the BIOS from version 1.20 to version 2.00.
However, after I download the latest version from the ASRock website and click on the Windows executable
file that is supposed to install the new version of the BIOS, the warning says that the file has an unknown
publisher. Since BIOS is such an important component of a computer, I decided to contact somebody knowledgeable
first before installing the file from an unknown publisher.


Hence my question is: should I install the executable even though the publisher is not specified as
ASRock. How can I make sure that the BIOS version that I am about to install is valid and legitimate.


Thank you in advance for your help.

Re: Problem with Updating BIOS

Before you go ahead I would advise you to do the Instant flash method instead it's much safer
ASRock - BIOS Upgrade Instruction

As long as you download it from asrock wesite it's going to be safe, don't remove the flash drive until windows has rebooted
Hope it goes well
