Reviving the Legend: Updating the BIOS on Your Lenovo ThinkCentre M72e
Some users with very early BIOS versions (like f4kt18aus ) have reported they cannot directly flash to the latest version. The solution is a "stair-step" update. A stable intermediate version, such as f4kt35aus , can be used as a bridge. You would flash to the intermediate version first, which then allows you to update to the latest version like f4kt61aus . If you need an older BIOS version, some users have found success by manually editing the download link for the latest ISO to point to an older file name (e.g., changing f4j961usa.iso to f4j935usa.iso ).
