Dell XPS 15 9550 BIOS Upgrade Information Request
This issue refers to a Dell XPS 15 9550 the configuration of which is listed at the end.
I am attempting to run a user application but experience display and control issues.
Another user of this application on a Dell XPS 15 9560 has resolved the issue by upgrading to BIOS Version 1.6.2, release date 11/12/17, filename XPS_15_9560_1.6.2.exe. The latest BIOS release for the 9550 appears to be version 1.3.0 but this does not resolve the issue.
Does anyone know:
- What was included in the update that might have fixed the issue.
- Whether a corresponding update is going to be ported to a 9550 BIOS and if so when.
- Whether version 1.6.2 is OK to apply to a 9550 (I suspect not)
Thanks

1. Whatever release notes there are will show up on the web page with the download.
2. Unlikely - the 9550 is an end of life system.
3. No way - DO NOT force-flash the 9560 onto a 9550 system. You'll wind up with a dead mainboard.
If the problem you're having affects just one application, you'd do better to check with its publisher -- chances are it's the application that needs an update -- not the system.
