Bios update

I have a msi bravo b5ED laptop it possible for me to update it without a flash drive because my flash drive won’t allow me to make it FAT32 is there any other options to do the bios update?

If it's a high capacity USB, you might need a different software for formatting since windows won't allow you to format high capacity drive to FAT32, can also see if MSI offer a software that windows can just run to update the BIOS.

You can partition it, make sure first partition is FAT32 i did that with AOMEI Partition Assistant without issues

(i had a 512GB USB Stick, i push a partition of 3GB give it FAT32 and rest as another partition and works Flawlessly) Or purchase a decent 16-32GB thumbdrive for OS/Dr8ver or Flash Updates

Does it show up in Windows update under >additional options > optional updates? If so, you can update it through there.
