                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have recently gone through the steps to upgrade my Minisforum Motherboard BIOS version for the Minisforum BD795M and BD795i SE motherboards. I wanted to show you the process that I used to get the upgrade done.</p>
<p>First, navigate to the Minisforum Downloads site. You can just google this term and it should show as the first result, but here is the link I have: <a href="https://www.minisforum.cn/new/support" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.minisforum.cn/new/support</a></p>
<p>Navigate to motherboards and select the model you want to update. In my case, I have both the BD795M and the BD795i SE motherboards. Click &gt; <strong>Downloads &gt; BIOS &amp; Firmware</strong>.</p>
<p>Below, I am selecting the <strong>BIOS v1.12 </strong>download.</p>
<p><img style="margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto" src="https://www.virtualizationhowto.com/wp-content/uploads/wpforo/attachments/2/666-select-bios-and-firmware.jpg" /></p>
<p>AAfter you get the download it will be a .7z file. So you will seen something like 7-zip if you are on Windows. After extracting, you will see the following files:</p>
<p><img style="margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto" src="https://www.virtualizationhowto.com/wp-content/uploads/wpforo/attachments/2/664-file-contents-of-the-BIOS-download.jpg" /></p>
<p>When I downloaded the above package as you can see above when extracted, there is no EFI folder. When I booted from USB into UEFI it didn't like the USB key. An easy workaround I found was to download the MS-01 BIOS package which <strong>does</strong> have an EFI folder and just copy this folder into your downloaded package to the above folder after you extract it. Below is a look at the MS-01 files extracted.</p>

<p>After copying the EFI folder into the extracted motherboard upgrade files, this is what my folder looks like:</p>

<h2>USB key prep</h2>
<p> Now that we have the files we need, we need to prepare the USB key. To do that, following the steps here to prepare it with diskpart:</p>
<pre contenteditable="false">diskpart
list disk
select disk X  # Replace X with the number of the disk you want to format
clean
create partition primary
format fs=fat32 quick</pre>
<h2>Run the update</h2>
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Boot into U disk, with uefi shell (<strong><mark class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">F7 to choose boot disk</mark>)</strong></li>
<li>Use “FS0:” “FS1:” “FS2:” to find your BIOS udisk (mine below was FS6 as you can see, you just have to try and see which one it is, likely FS0 for many)
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Use the command “ls” to check the files contained as you change to each one until you find your USB disk</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Run<span> </span><strong>EfiFlash.nsh</strong></li>
</ol>
