    Go into your BIOS when starting up, it should say the version somewhere.

    If not, use CPU-z to check.

    If you don't want to have to restart, you can go to start > all programs > intel matrix storage manager and click view > system report, it should say your bios version in the system report. If you have the 7811 then it will be 9c.05.00 or 9c.08.00 I think
