I applied the VAIO Z update program

　One year has passed since VAIO Z was released.I purchased it in April last year, but I wonder if it will be a year in no time.In the meantime, the computer industry is moving more and more, and Intel has launched the 12th generation Core and has improved its performance.

　VAIO Z also released a special special specification model in October last year.I thought that the body color was just a special paint, and it was a revision-up model equipped with the technology used in the VAIO SX12/SX14 that was released at the same time and the refreshing CPU Core I7-11390H.

VAIO Z Katsu -color special specification model is limited in quantity, but it can be purchased as of the end of January.

　Furthermore, on January 13 this year, black and signature black can be selected, and the highest model of VAIO Z has been unified as a revision -up model.As a result, the model I have has become an old model.

　However, it is natural that bassons will evolve more and more, and if you think about it, you will not be able to buy a personal computer for the rest of your life.It is the correct decision to buy a product that is shaken at that time.

　The next generation of the CPU has appeared, but in the past year, the only four -sided full carbon body notebook PC is VAIO Z.The unrivaled technical skills of other companies are one of the points that enhances ownership.Even if it's a bit old, that's the satisfaction of having VAIO Z.

Is the update program applied?

　By the way, after a year, there are many parts that are reviewed.It is an update for improving functions such as bugs found after the release and addition of new functions.I have never felt dissatisfied or defective using VAIO Z so far, but when I looked it up, several update programs were released on December 7, 2021.

　The update program is found by searching from the VAIO support page.However, since it is not a machine name but a model number, it is difficult to understand which model it is.What I want to use in such a case is the "VAIO owner site".

　As mentioned in the article immediately after the purchase, it can be used with VAIO ID created at the VAIO store (transition is required if it was created before February 16, 2021), and when I entered the owner site, I purchased it at the VAIO store in the past.The product is listed, and information on the support period and information on the update program can be seen.

Log in to VAIO owner site.In the case of the author, 2 products are registered, including VAIO Z

　From this site, you can fly to the update program site for each product, so it is very convenient to access it in one shot without knowing the model number.In addition, it is possible to notify you by e -mail, so if you want to know the update information as soon as possible, you should set it to notify you.

You can access sites such as support and update programs

You can also check online hardware.If you feel sick, make a diagnosis

You can receive an update program notification by email.It is not very frequent, so if you register, you do not have to check the site each time.

　I did not register an email notification, I learned that there was an update after a long absence.The BIOS update, the INETL ME firmware driver update, and the update of the VAIO FIRMWARE EXTENSION PARSER driver and the Elan fingerprint authentication driver were updated on November 25.

It is convenient to fly directly to the support page of the machine you are using.I don't remember the model number, so it's definitely easier to go through the owner site

　All of them were aimed to improve the stability of the operation, and we performed all updates for the time being.

　Execution is very easy, just download the program and execute it.BIOS and firmware updates cannot be executed unless they are connected to the power supply, so be connected in advance and execute them.

Just execute the BIOS update from Windows.Note that it will not be executed unless the power cable is connected

　It is easy to run the program from Windows, without the BIOS update, especially on the BIOS screen.After execution, restart and update, then the power drops.If you turn on the power, the VAIO logo will come out after a while, so don't be impatient and wait for it.

　Other than that, it ends in no time.Honestly, I don't know what has changed, but I always want to keep it up to the latest.If you haven't yet, please check the update program.

If you look at "App function" from "App" in "Settings", the version of the program you are using now has a version information, so you can check it here.

When installing Windows in a clear state without creating a recovery

　By the way, when you install Windows 11 from a clear state, you may be worried about what to do with VAIO original drivers and software.I hadn't made recovery at the time of VAIO S11 before, so I downloaded and installed Windows ISO data from Microsoft, but there are no apps such as drivers or "VAIO settings".I was looking for it.

　In such a case, it is provided on this support page.Under the update program, there is a link to access the "original driver software" download page, and anyone can use it if you agree with your license.

Information such as drivers and tools required for each product is summarized on the support page.You can downrow the necessary programs from here

　In the case of VAIO Z, not only Windows 10 but also Windows 11 is well prepared, downloading the required drivers according to your machine specifications and executed after Windows installation.

　Some tools, including the "VAIO settings" app, are also available to download from the Microsoft Store app.If you don't know this, it's quite difficult to return to the original state, so keep in mind.
