With Dell it is just a EXE yo click on.
He means something completely different to an EXE. Modding your BIOS manually requires the right knowledge or you'll brick your machine. I did a fair bit of it a couple of years ago. I'd do some research it you plan to actually, manually mod you BIOS. It's not point and click.

Sorry but you are wrong here. Dells BIOS updates are in fact EXE's
Not like the old days. I will tell you I went to school for electronic service back in the early 80's back when you had to set up the hard drive and cyl manualy, old floppies and so I am not new to this. Todays electronics is way easier.
I wa ther first to set up modern slot machines with the biggest slot machine company in the world. Not even going to go into my full resume because I am retired now and don't care anymore and the only this I fix now is my own computers. Anyway that's it . the school I went to wa rated tenth in the nation , usa. out of 82 that started only 39 graduated and 22 of those went to work for the FBI.

That's not how BIOS mod works man. BIOS mod is not you click on this EXE app and then you are done. I think you got yourself confused between BIOS mod and updating BIOS term.

I'm NOT saying DELL's bios updates are NOT exe's. You are proving you don't even know what bios modding is with your replies. BOIS modding isn't when you use official software to install BIOS updates. BOIS modding is extremely risky and completely different to what you're on about. You couldn't have done any BOIS modding because you'd know straight away what it is. It's using unofficial methods and tools to modify your BIOS for different purposes NOT using the EXE that is provided by your motherboard manufacturer. I'd do some googling on bois modding because as things stand your sprouting off how long you've been in IT and looking like a fool because you clearly do NOT know what BOIS modding is. Again - BIOS modding is NOT using the official EXE'S provided by your motherboard manufacturer. It's using toolkits, command lines and other methods to unofficially mod your BIOS. I don't feel the need to mention my experiance or qualifications. Serious - Google BIOS modding.

BIOS modding - Google Search

Since I could not find the new dell BIOS update on dell support site, last night I installed the dell support assistant.
it found a new BIOS up date and I installed it. first the program clears everything then re flashes it and verifies everything. Now my machines shows fully patched. (y)
