Do you have a good v7 firmware/driver combo that you can recommend for my laptop?

---

If you want to update the Intel ME7 Firmware and the Intel MEI driver at all (you should not expect any noticeable performance gain by doing that), I recommand to flash the Intel ME7 1.5M firmware v7.1.60.1193 and to manually update the Intel MEI HECI driver from within the Device Manager by using the attached 32/64bit Intel MEI HECI drivers v7.1.70.1198 dated 04/04/2013.
Note:
Provided that the Intel MEI Controller of your laptop is supported, you may be able to get even the newest Intel MEI Drivers v10.0.20.1258 WHQL installed, but according to my experience the brandnew Intel MEI driver named TEEdriver is not the best choice for older Intel chipsets like the 6-Series.

And can I really not upgrade the firmware to 7.1.60.1193 if I have a Windows 8.1 64-bit system? It says on the 1st page that it needs a 32-bit system. Does that mean I have to boot in a 32-bit system on this laptop just for that?

Have you already tried to run the tool from withn your 64bit OS?
Some users reported here, that the 32bit installer worked for them even with a 64bit OS.

Is it possible to update Intel MEI firmware on latest Apple Macbook Pro 13 retina (Hasswel CPU, Lynx-Point) via Bootcamp Windows 8.1? Has anyone tried?

I'm trying to update a Z87 motherboard with the last firmware v9.5.40.1892 but i get the next error:

Error 8704: Firmware update operation not initiated due to a SKU mismatch

I currently have version 9.0.31.1487 H

Hi Fernando, could you please give some advices or recommendations
about that things i asked in my last (previous) two posts (on page 31).

I would like to finally solve the problem of updating the ME FW on my Intel HM76 7-series Express chipset...

BTW... I will also try to contact those more skilled people - in the BIOS setting and customization, from this forum today.

Thanks

Hello again.
I have inspected the contents of that original ME FW 8.1.0.1263 from MSI - Edit1=> from those files it is clear that ME FW is 1.5MB type (region),
and it had inside that MeManuf tool and
also that tool for editing a BIOS file with new FW = FlashImage Tool for 6/7series.

So it comes to me, why the hell would the MSI pack such tools inside the original ME FW installer - updater (flasher)...
If i tried it i would have that old ME FW 8.1.0.1263, but it would surely install correctly.

And about that error it writes to me, error when i tried update the ME FW - i will post it later here (or edit this post), because
i didn't noted it for reference.

The flash tool created a backup (old.bin) of current ME FW bin file, but it didnt changed the current one.
So the original FW is kept.

So probably, it would be best to stop trying to update current ME FW and keep it as it is now.

I hope i didn't bothered you too much.
I just wanted to update it correctly, even if that needed deeper technical expertise,
of which i have been really aware since, i asked you on various possible problems
that would come from trying to do the update.

Thanks

Edit 2:
About the error i got previously when trying to update to ME FW 8.1.52.1496 on my HM76 mobo: " This program cannot be run on the current platform "

Did that meant that that updater will just not work for my MB or pc?
