The following issues are preventing Windows from upgrading. The reason I need to update my BIOS is because Windows 7 CD gives the warning: Any help or insight will be appreciated since there is no service center in my locality for the appropriate battery and vista is creating a lot of problems for me! It appears like the BIOS update was never flashed and that the black screen just timed out and started windows again :(. However when I check the BIOS version (with msinfo32.exe), it still shows A11! All good so far.Īfter the shutdown there is a black screen for a few minutes after which windows starts normally. It confirms that I want to update from A11 to A15 and I press OK. Since my battery has worn out it flagged an error saying that my computer didn't have a battery, but I can work around that by using M1330A15.EXE /forceit from a cmd prompt with elevated permissions. I followed the instructions on the Dell support site, downloaded the appropriate BIOS update executable (M1330A15.EXE) and ran it. My Dell XPS M1330 currently has BIOS version A11 which is too outdated to install windows 7 Home Premium.
