Flashing the BIOS and SLIC 2.1 on a Gigabyte Motherboard (Model: G31MES2C_F8)
Translated from Chinese by Claude. Read the original
Yesterday I went over to a classmate’s place to help install Windows 7
To get a perfect activation, I flashed the hardware itself, and in the end everything went smoothly!
I used Lenovo’s Windows 7 OEM image
It took me a long time of searching on the BIOS Home forum to find it
Flashing the BIOS and SLIC 2.1 is easy
Just run Gigabyte’s official @BIOS program
Then update with that G31MES2C_F8 file and you’re done~
G31MES2C_F8 includes both the BIOS update and SLIC 2.1
Wait for the update to finish
Reboot
Check that the BIOS and SLIC 2.1 were flashed successfully
Then install Windows 7
The tragic part was their optical drive, truly a tragedy~ a drive from 2006~ talk about slow read speeds~
In the end it installed fine and activated fine~
I didn’t take any screenshots, so no pictures~~
Note: this SLIC 2.1 table can import multiple OEM certificates
