RN 516 bios update
Hi all, 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 2013/0...
Thank you Stephen!
Thanks for the ping StephenB!
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.
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?
JeraldM could you still help me with updating the bios of my 516?
