- It doesn’t make any sence to update BIOS modules, which are not used at all by your system. The demand to get the latest from everything is not a good adviser, when it comes to a BIOS update. Imagine what will happen, when your PC gets a power interuption during the BIOS flashing procedure just for an update of unused or even unusable modules (see point 3)!
- The latest BIOS modules are not automaticly the best for old PC/notebook systems.
- If you should mean with “safe” no bricked mainboard while doing the BIOS flash, it is safe to update the Intel RST EFI module to v19.5.0.5676, but it will not work with your system. Whenever you should want to create an Intel RST RAID array, you will not be able to do it, because the latest Intel RST BIOS modules do not support the old chipset of your mainboard.
What is an “official” driver for Win10? Who made it official for which purpose?
The only Win10/11 in-the-box Intel RST driver is v15.44.0.1015 and only usable while running the SATA ports in RAID mode.
