Bios Update Help Requested (Lenovo Legion/Lenovo Vantage)

[Omega83]

Hi guys. I recently got a new laptop, a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro that came with Lenovo Vantage Software preinstalled. 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 doing it on my new laptop. Does anyone here have an Lenovo Legion Laptop, and or an Lenovo laptop in general, and also uses Lenovo Vantage to update BIOS? Could really appreciate some thoughts and help on this. 🙂

Lenovo is, IMO, the best at just about everything in the laptop sector. And given that you just purchased the laptop, now would be a great time to update your BIOS because you have free support from Lenovo if something goes wrong, not that I expect anything to go wrong.

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 🙂

I do have another question/concern though, it is about the laptop battery: When I first got the laptop, it would fully charge battery to 100%. Lately though, it stops charging at 99%. I looked at what settings I could, but I couldn't find any eco setting or anything like that where it doesn't fully charge battery. Should I be concerned about this issue? Further thoughts and help greatly appreciated 🙂

My best guess is that the calibration just drifted a little. You might fix it by letting it drain all the way to zero then plugging it back in. I can't really think of any case where this would be signaling that something was seriously wrong.
