Warning: During the BIOS update process do not disconnect or turn off the power as this will render the system inoperable.
I'm Trying to Perform the MFLASH Update but it says that there are No BIOS Files on the DiskThis can happen if the generic MSI BIOS has been flashed. This will change the motherboard version number from E7187ISQ to E7187IMS. When the version number has been changed, the motherboard will in future look for E7187IMS BIOS files, and will not see the E7187ISQ BIOS files, such as E7187ISQ.190. To resolve this problem, rename the BIOS file to match the motherboard version. For example, rename E7187ISQ.190 to E7187IMS.190, and then try MFLASH again. Applies to:

The DeviceThe device is a chipset component found on Intel Skylake and newer motherboards. It is part of Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT) as can be used to provide TPM 2.0 functionality. The device can therefore be used to provide credential storage and key management, useful if you are deploying technologies such as Bitlocker. Drivers and SoftwareThis device is not installed by using the Intel Chipset Driver software or Intel Management Interface (MEI). The device is automatically supported in Windows 8 and Windows 10. The BIOS must be running in UEFI mode. If you are using Windows 7 x64, or Windows Server 2008 R2, a Hotfix is available to add support for TPM 2.0 functionality. This will provide the driver support required. Again, the system must be running in UEFI mode. Reminder: The ACPI\MSFT0101 device - Intel Platform Trust Technology - is not supported under Windows 7 x86.
