I'm looking to flash the BIOS on my American Megatrends motherboard, model X99-P3 from Intel, version 8.0 in UEFI. I want to update it but I'm not sure what software or utility I need to use. Also, since I inherited this computer from my mom, I'm not completely clear on the exact specifications of the motherboard. Any tips on how to go about this?

Before you flash your BIOS, make sure it's actually necessary! If you're experiencing issues, then an update might help. If it’s just for a new feature, think twice before proceeding. To flash it, first open your case to confirm your motherboard's model. You can also use ‘msinfo32’ to check your system info, but keep in mind it might not always be accurate. Grab the latest BIOS file from the manufacturer's website—make sure it’s newer than what you currently have.
