    Hello everyone,

    I was checking the BIOS version on my Clevo P650SG, and I feel like there's something wrong. When I went to the actual BIOS, the version is 1.05.01.

    But when I check on multiple software such as Intel XTU, CPU-Z, and dxdiag, they all said BIOS version is 1.03.01. Is there something wrong?

    Also, what's the latest version of BIOS available for my laptop? And Prema BIOS too? Thanks.

    They just messed up while sending those 1.05.01 revisions out and simply forgot to change those values everywhere in BIOS.

    Ah, I see. That kind of freaked me out for a second. What's the latest version of BIOS for Premas Mod? Is it older? Would it work well with Windows 10? What are some things that I might lose with Prema BIOS? Thanks.

    Prema Mod v2 is based on 1.03.07 for SG and 1.03.09 for SE model.

    Everything is newer in the mod except for a fix for a potential W10 secure boot bug, which no one ever experienced in RL.

    Premature Mod? Lol.

    I don't think I ever enabled secure boot on my laptop, so that probably doesn't matter. What kind of bug is it that affects Windows 10?

    THX@ auto-correct. :)

    The "potential" bug is confidential and has only been given a code name.

    Ah, I see. Hopefully it won't affect me using Windows 10.

    Is there a possibility that you will update the Prema BIOS to the latest Clevo BIOS 1.05.01? Just wondering.
