NP700Z7C-S01UB and Windows 10 install

SW Update has no role in this procedure.

You locate the filename of the latest BIOS update by using the link at the end of @isosunrise's guide, then insert the filename into the download link to get the actual executable. I think you already did that.

As described in the guide, you then extract the contents of the executable by running it as Admin, but DON'T click OK to let it proceed with flashing (which will fail anyway because you're already on the latest). While the prompt is still open, copy the files from the TEMP folder, then click CANCEL to close the program.

Sflash or WinFlash should be among the files you copied from the TEMP folder.

Some members recently reported how the TEMP folder was empty and they were unable to extract the files using this procedure. In that case, you'll have to find an older BIOS update file. That's OK because you don't actually flash it, you merely use the flashing utility with the /cvar /patch parameters to clear NVRAM. Finding these older versions is tricky, but in your case I would search the cached BIOS list in isosunrise's guide for your PlatformID, then download the latest you can find.

Again, please keep us updated.
