Prepare Firmware Update
Once you have downloaded it, extract the contents of it to your PC. There should be a Readme.txt and startup.nsh files, and two folders; EFI and win4_BIOS_Relase_V0.60, or similar named depending on firmware version).
Copy all of the contents to a FAT32-formatted USB flash drive. You can now safely eject the USB stick and plug it into your GPD WIN 4. Connect the power supply to the device.
Installing the GPD WIN 4 BIOS Update
Power on the GPD device immediately press and hold the FN key, and tap the F7 key during the startup. You may need to repeatedly tap the F7 key a few times to get the boot menu. Once the menu appears, select the USB drive as the boot device.
The BIOS update will now proceed and take a few moments. During this time, do not remove the USB stick or switch off the device. We heavily suggest keeping your device connected to a charger during this time. Once completed, the device will automatically power down.
Powering on your device
You can now power on your GPD WIN 4 and use your device as normal.
Please note that due to the BIOS update effectively resetting the BIOS, the first boot may take a few minutes and show a black screen while it updates. Do not switch it off during the process. Subsequent boots will be at the normal fast speed you are used to.
