downloaded Windows Disk Image Burner will start
Now click “burn”
When finished the green progress bar will be at the end and “The disc
images has been successfully burned to disc” will be displayed
Stage Three: Updating the Firmware
1. Reboot Your Computer
In order to update the SSD we now need to boot from the optical disc you
created, so restart the computer system
2. Change BIOS Settings
If your system doesn’t automatically boot from the disc on restart the
boot setting in the BIOS needs to be changed to allow it to do so. Many
computers tell you how to enter the BIOS when they start up if not it is most
likely that you need to press one of the following keys F1, F2, F10, Esc, or
Del
In the BIOS change the boot order to put your optical drive first
Once finished save your new settings and exit, by following the instructions
on the screen
(in our example BIOS above this is done by pressing the F10 key)
***************************************************************************************
Tips1: If you can’t find the correct key to enter the BIOS restart with any
key held down, the system will beep a lot, show a stuck key warning, and
probably indicate the correct key for the BIOS.
Tips2: Windows 8 Fast Booting Systems – On some modern Windows 8
systems in addition to changing the boot order you also may need to set
Launch CSM to Enabled and Secure Boot Control to Disabled in the BIOS.

The screen will now display the following message
If you want to continue with the firmware update press y and enter

firmware, see the example above
Congratulations your firmware is now up to date! Remove the optical disc
and press the power button reboot to enjoy the speed of the M5 Pro Xtreme
* Don’t forget to enter setup again to return your settings back to the way
they were before
