Re: BIOS update utility installation problem
Hi Jen,
Thank you for your response, I am happy to join this community since I have been using sony products for a long time. My laptop is a VPCF117FX intel core i7 Q720 1.60 GHz running a 64bit Windows 10 (free upgrade from my previous Windows 7).
I would like to give you a quick history of what the issue is. I have always been wondering if my laptop was managing the heat properly, however I never updated Bios or other stuff and I just lived with it. A few months ago, I upgraded my OS to W10 and everything seemed to work fine. Anyhow, when I realized that there was a BIOS update, I thought the right thing to do is keeping my laptop up-to-date. I have a few questions that I hope I can get anwsers to:
- Why I can not install the upgrade released by sony for my laptop (noted in my previous post)? How can I update it?
- I think my laptop could be managing the heat better when running several programs, would you recomend installing the upgrade? I heard updating BIOS is a tricky thing, meaning if something goes wrong the laptop will not work.
- I heard from microsoft that Sony will be realeasing a general upgrade of drivers for Windows 10, including BIOS, etc. Is that correct? Will I be able to upgrade my Laptop with that upgrade?
Thank you very much, happy holidays,

Re: SSD
Hi RedBer22,
Welcome to Sony Community!
It's not a good idea to upgrade the hard drive because upon replacing it, you might need to replace everything like the hard drive, memory, etc because they are all meant to work with each other. Plus, you might have issues with the drivers and software. We can't guarantee the outcome of the upgrade.
If you really want to upgrade the hard drive, we strongly suggest to seek help with the professional technician.
Regards,
Jen

Re: Sony Vaio SVE1513 BiOS update bricks laptop - "No Operating System Found" message
Hi Ace-09,
Welcome to Sony Community!
We're saddened to hear what happened. Was the laptop plugged directly into the main outlet when you were updating the BIOS? It looks like the system is corrupted. You may use the VAIO recovery disc. If you don't have one, we highly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/ to assist you with this issue.

Re: BIOS update utility installation problem
Hi Aibenzal,
Thank you for the information. The model VPCF117FX has no other driver support but for Windows 7 operating system only. No driver support for Windows 10 operating system. Although updates for the existing drivers for Window 7 are available on the website wherein you can upgrade your drivers.
Below are the answers to your questions:
1. The reason that you can't install the updates is that it is for Windows 7 not for Windows 10 operating system. To update it, the laptop needs to be running on Windows 7.
2. Again, your laptop is running Windows 10 operating system thus no new driver nor update for this version. When you install the BIOS update for Windows 7, it might give u another problem.
3. Sony has already released the Windows 10 upgrade sometime in August 2017 for all the compatible models.
I hope the information above helps.
Regards,
Jen

SONY Vaio Desktop PCV-RX465DS Recovery Problems
Okay, title is a little misleading, so please bear with me as I explain better.
I have a SONY Vaio Desktop PCV-RX465DS. The HD failed, so I am trying to replace it.
When I put the new HD in it says that BOOTMGR is missing.
Tried putting in the Windows ME disc, but it does not seem to be reading it. Swapped out the CD drive, thinking the other had gone bad, but no luck with that one either. Both drives gave me green lights, so I know there is power to them and the CD drives are listed as 1st in the boot starup, so it should be reading the ME disc first.
I have an older HD, which I installed to try and get things going, but this one will only start in SAFEMODE, and still can get it to read the CD first.
I'm ready to throw it out the window, but because it is the computer system I use (need) to run an embroidery machine, I need to get it working again.
Any help ?
Thanks,
Andrew

Click “Cancel” to cancel the shutdown, logoff, a restart.
Is it okay to force a shutdown?

Re: URGENT - BIOS Upgrades for Meltdown & Spectre
Note that this is NOT an operting system issue - it MUST be addressed by OEMs like Sony, and BIOS updates are mandatory - see discussion in other thread here:

How do I re-install all the SONY's settings and drivers from 4 DVDs but NOT the OS ?
Hello,
How do I re-install all the SONY's setting and drivers from 4 DVDs (Sony Recovery DVDs set) but NOT re-install the OS ?
[IMG]http://i63.tinypic.com/153qofq.jpg[/IMG]
Also, is there a way I can copy/paste all the contents from 4 DVDs then paste onto a flash drive and then use the flash drive instead of using the optical drive? (Because it seems to me, dvd #1 stuck at 22% for a long time, dvd#2 stuck at 46%, dvd#3 stuck at 88% ...
Thank you
