    Hi,

    I did install the new Bios with No problems but i am not an Expert to notice the difference.

    Fixes & Enhancements
    1. Updated Intel microcode.
    2. Added support for i5-2450M.
    3. Fixed system may stay in S3 state when doing BIOS update
    4. Fixed system can't boot from USB3.0 ODD if set CD/DVD as first boot device in Setup Menu.
    5. Fixed Function Key Behavior and Charger Behavior in Setup Menu will be disabled if to do load default and exit without saving.
    6. Fixed system does not handoff XHCI controller correctly before enter OS
    7. Enhanced compatibility of Windows flash utility, to support BIOS update if only 1GB RAM installed.
    8. Prevent OS pop up the warning message to notify user to change battery even if the battery capacity is not less than 40%.
    9. Change Intel IGD VBIOS to v.2104 for PSA compatibility.
    10.Enhanced compatibility on Lite-On LAT-256M2S SSD for fixing system cannot switch to Delldiag partition after PSA test is done.



    Direct Download is not available,so you have to download it yourself from DELL.

    Thanks, but others have announced this update in these forums at least twice. Search the forums, as it has already been discussed.

    FWIW, my XPS 15 was delivered over 6 weeks ago with A07 already installed.

    It was posted to the site on that date, but has been shipping on computers for a month and a half. And, it's been announced here more than once.

    Can anyone upload it? I can't access mydelldownloads as it never recognises my service tag as valid.

    +1 for pls upload :)
    One question... there are no changes in the BIOS in the Language? For example when you download the BIOS in germany or download it from anywhere else and install it on an german laptop.
