    Bios Update Help Requested (Lenovo Legion/Lenovo Vantage)

    Thank you so much for the thoughts and info! The BIOS update was pretty straightforward (I thought it would actually be more complicated than it was): Download update through Lenovo Vantage, restart laptop automatically, flash/install BIOS auto, and finally restart again and boot into W11 OS :)...

One of the things it can do is check for updates to Drivers and BIOS, which it found an update for. Thing is, I don't have much experience with BIOS updates, and am a little hesitant...

    Hi guys. I got my new laptop and installed one of the 4TB SSDs from my previous laptop, but have not formatted it yet. When I went to start format, it asked me if i want to compress files and folders, should I do that on the 2nd SSD? Also, would a quick format be ok? Help greatly appreciated :)
