I'm not sure that you really need this KB2685811 for Windows 8.x. If I'm not mistaken, this functionality comes out of the box with Win 8.x. I just scanned the registry of my Win 8.1u1 x64 VM and there is no evidence of this update. So if there is such an update for Win 8.x too, it should be installed here.

I recently flashed v9.1.2.1010 onto my B85 motherboard. According to the first post in this thread, I should have flashed v9.0.31.1487 (1.5MB) .However that one refused to flash. What's more, the old.bin that the flasher generated is 3.88MB in size. Did I flash the right firmware?

Not sure if anything else can be updated in that list. This seems to work fine though.

@lordkag or @Fernando - I have carefully read through this thread for the last couple days hoping to find the answer without having to ask. our answer on post #143 is the closest I found but need to verify ... here goes the "ask".

I have (HP workstation) ME 7.1.60.1193 installed and want to upgrade to 8.1.52.1496 (or latest) so, can this be done with the ME 7.x tools. I have tried the ME 8.x tools and I get errors just as @Proman28 found.

@ Malet:
Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!

Why do you want to upgrade the Intel ME Firmware version branch from v7.x.xx.xxxx to v8.x.xx.xxxx? Do you have any problems, which may be caused by your current ME Firmware?

Are you sure, that both computers are using the same mainboard model (incl. Revision) and the same BIOS version as well?

Have you already tried to contact HP as your workstation manufacturer?

Hi Fernando I'm new around here, first I want to say ty and congratz for your hard work here. Veo q por tu nombre supongo q hablas en español originalmente no?

Yes, now your Intel 6-Series chipset system has the latest Intel MEI Firmware and the latest Intel MEI driver.

My mother tongue is German, but my Forum is an English language one. I do not accept any posts, which were written in another language (not even German ones). The sense is, that all visitors of the Forum should be able to read and understand all posts (provided, that they know a little bit English).

Regards
Fernando

Thanks for the reply Fernando! I'll post in other section some doubts about the SATA drivers.
For your name I thought you were from a spanish country haha, anyway thanks for clear my mind about this IME thing!
