Problem:

  • Unable to update Lenovo laptop BIOS.
  • Tried all troubleshooting steps from the official Lenovo website, but the issue persists.
  • Using a Windows operating system with UEFI boot mode.

Solution:

  • Increase the size of the EFI system partition:
    • Use a disk partitioning tool (e.g., Disk Management, EaseUS Partition Master) to increase the size of the EFI system partition to at least 200MB.

Tested on:

  • Windows 11
  • Lenovo P14s Gen4 laptop

Explanation:

In some cases, insufficient space on the EFI system partition can hinder successful BIOS updates. By increasing the partition size, you provide ample space for the update process to complete without errors.

Note:

  • Data Backup: Before making any changes to disk partitions, back up all important data to prevent data loss.
  • Proceed with Caution: Modifying disk partitions can be risky. If you are unsure about any of the steps, consult with a qualified technician.
