RN 516 bios update

Question

Hi all,&nbsp;I've bought a used RN516 which is working great. I would however like to run a virtual machine on it. I believe it needs an updated bios to enable this? Its current bios version is 2013/04/16.&nbsp;&nbsp;Would a mod please be so kind to assist? Thanks in advance!&nbsp;

Hi liselotte111,

Are you having an issue with running the virtual machine on the RN516?
If so, could you provide us what error message you're getting if any?

I did not try yet because I (falsely) assumed that my bios was too old. But it seems that my bios already has VT-x enabled.&nbsp;&nbsp;I however would also like to be able to boot linux from usb. Since changing a bios setting is not persistent (eg boot order), I would have to chainload it. I read on the forum here that in the newer bios it automatically boots a recovery usb. Does that mean that a different USB drive would load first too?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
