1 - Open the MyAsus app

Once you open the app you want to go to the left column that says System Update and go to the "Latest: tab.

From there you will see that the latest BIOS version is there and you want to download it to somewhere on your ROG Ally.

2 - Open the Update Driver Application

You'll select your language and press "Ok" and accept the agreement and install.

You can either restart your computer now or restart it later.

If you choose now it will now restart into the BIOS screen.

3 - Now You're in the BIOS Screen

A popup about EZ Flash will show up, and you just want to plug your ROG Ally into the charger, and then you will be prompted with a screen saying not to remove it from the adapter.

Now your BIOS will update and for me this took around 10 minutes.

Your ROG Ally wil restart one more time and then you will go to the normal screen saver and you just login.

Now your ROG Ally is updated.
