Please note, if you find a ".efi" file in the BIOS files, then you should use UEFI Shell to update the BIOS.
If there exist ".exe" file, then you should update the BIOS in Windows.

1. Update BIOS in UEFI Shell:
  1. Extract all the files to the root directory of the USB device. (Actually, any folder is OK if you're familiar with the shell).

  2. Attach a keyboard and the USB stick to the device and start the device by pressing the power button, and press the F11 key on the keyboard until the boot option is prompted.

  3. Select the UEFI option by pressing up/down key, and press 'Enter' key.

  4. In the "Shell" window, you 'll be able to find that the USB device (removable HardDisk) is fs3.

  5. Type command fs3: and then type ls (or dir)command to check the BIOS files, and you can see AfuEfix64.efi and CHT0A180.bin are listed.
    Type the following command to perform the update:
    AfuEfix64.efi CHT0A180.bin /p /b /n /x
    (See attached picture BIOS-3.JPG)

  6. Until it finished, type command exit.
