where is bios number 76?

[nino76]

A new BIOS number 77 was released on intel nuc 8th generation, while the previous BIOS was 75. Why did they miss 76 BIOS? Maybe it exists but in beta? I demand to give me bios 76

[AlHill]

Because BIOS revisions numbers almost never run in numerical progression by 1.

Demand?

Why not tell us the model number of your NUC?

There are occasions where a BIOS is built but, in final validation, this BIOS is found to have issues that must be addressed. In this case, the build subsequently produced will have a new build number and the previous number will never ship. Bottom line, whether you demand it or not, you won't be seeing build 76.

Wow @nino76​,

Firstly, you are here in a forum where customers share their knowledge about Intel products.

From time to time, a support staff member also is involved, but if you want to make an official complaint to Intel, you should do so via the official support channel.

Second, it's like @Al.Hill​ and @n.scott.pearson​ have already written:

BIOS versions are not linearly named.

Maybe you have noticed something similar with drivers?

Even with software products, version jumps are not always numbered with a number ascending by 1.

Or had Microsoft delivered Windows 9 to you?

I'm still waiting for an iPhone 2 and an iPhone 9, but since Apple has already reached the 11,

I'm afraid that the chances are rather bad, no matter how much I ask for it (and I would also be too embarrassed to demand this).

Merry Christmas!

Kind of like wanting "Plan 8 from Outer Space", or wanting a tube of "Preparation G".
