    Hi.
    I just received my "new, in opened box" fz-g1 mk3. 150hours on the clock, 8GB ram, LTE(EM7305), 8MP rear camera and optional ethernet.
    Model: FZ-G1L6362M3.
    The bios is V3.00L12 M19 so the "normal" bios won't do the update.
    Is it possible to safely flash a normal bios? The bios is not password locked.

    I took an image of the SSD with macrium and I'm in the process of installing Win10 + drivers.

    Short answer as far as I know from experience with newer Toughbooks.
    No.
    Longer answer, Buy new BIOS chip, replace old chip.

    Also. I installed all windows updates and then ran G1JKL-MK3-10X64.exe. Now I'm in a bsod-bootloop. Yay....
    Which is correct on the ftp?
    G1JKLMN_Mk3_Win10x64_1703_V1.00 or
    G1JKLMN-MK3-10x64_V2.0
    ?
    Bummer about the bios. Oh well. I guess I'll manage
