    When trying to update the BIOS of your system, you may experience the Windows Configuration Error.
  • Details
    If you have already UPGRADED the BIOS of the computer in the past, you will not be able to update it again, unless you boot from a Floppy or USB drive to do so. This is due in part, to a Registry value that is written, that lets the system know that it has had a BIOS update.
    If this is the case, you will receive the following Error.
