    The BIOS on my Yoga 11s is v1.00 with a release date of 8/16/13. Best Buy has the 11s on display and its BIOS is v1.03 with a release date 10/8/13. How do I update mine to the latest version?

    I tried looking on the Lenovo website, and they don't have a BIOS update available for the 11s: Drivers and software - IdeaPad Yoga 11s Notebook

    Why would you need a newer version? If your current one supports all your hardware then there should not be a need to upgrade.

    Lenovo does not post BIOS updates for all of their laptops. You could use other people's BIOS dumps and flash them with a tool like FPTFW but you have a high risk of bricking your system.

    I would avoid poking with the BIOS of a computer at all costs.
