To optimize your PC with an Intel processor of the 13th / 14th generation, you will be provided with a corresponding BIOS update, which you can obtain from various sources depending on the motherboard.
After you have made sure (e. g. by looking in the device manager or the BIOS start screen) that one of the following mainboards is installed in your Desktop PC, you can download and install the latest BIOS update via these Internet links:
