The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is software built into a computer that loads and starts the operating system. BIOS updates can upgrade the software, improve compatibility and remove bugs. With an Acer Netbook, you can update the BIOS through the Acer "Service and Support" site. Additionally, BIOS updates can improve interoperability with any Acer peripherals that you have added to the netbook.
