    I have E6420 and want to update from original BIOS A04 to A05 despite hearsays that it is problematic since i hope some problems and severe interrupts when in Turbo Boost will get fixed.

    How can i backup original BIOS my laptop came with just in case A05 won't work for me as expected?


    Thanks.

    you don't need to back your old BIOS since all BIOS version between A01 and A04 are available for download from here

    Thank you. I have bought my model in USA, but you sent me to UK DELL support website. Does the country matter here? Should i get BIOS from DELL US website or UK website?

    The country doesn't matter. The A04 on the link is the same as the A04 in your laptop.
