HOW TO<br />
An example of<br />
BIOS options<br />
button to enter the BIOS. (Some motherboards,<br />
including the Gigabyte board I’m using, include an<br />
option to boot directly into a firmware flashing tool<br />
on the splash screen.) From there, you’ll need to find<br />
your motherboard’s firmware update tool – sometimes<br />
called a flashing tool – and point it toward the BIOS<br />
update stashed on your flash drive.<br />
Updating your BIOS should only take a few minutes,<br />
but be very careful to not to shut off your PC while it’s<br />
going on, even if you’ve backed up your data and have<br />
a spare Windows image handy. When the update runs<br />
its course, your PC will reboot, and you’ll be able to use<br />
it normally, but now with those helpful Spectre exploit<br />
protections in place directly in your CPU firmware.<br />
