QuestionWhat kinds of updates do i do to improve the vaio flip.I heard that all the fan problems wifi problems got fixed after doing the bois update and another 18ish more updates on the sony website. i was wondering if i had to updates all of the software drives or is there certain ones that i should update.
Asked 11 years ago by charlie.
- Answer If you run Vaio care it will pull all the updates for you. The only one you need to do manually is the screen calibration. I would do the updates in this order: 1. Run Vaio care update 2. Update Windows to 8.1 3. Run Vaio care update again 4. Run screen calibration update
