You can update with a USB drive, but if you have bitlocker enabled and don't temporarily disable it before the BIOS update, you'll need to reformat and reinstall Windows.

No, you can save a recovery key to a file or enter it from a printed one.

  • I believe you can also get it from your online Microsoft account if that's what you logged in with once. I ran into this a while ago and had to do it that way. I didn't even know I'd set up Bitlocker.
