New Bios' with Windows Executable

[Guest johnston21]

I have found on the Toshiba Canadian Support site that along with the new Bios' flash versions, that there is commonly a Windows executable version listed. On the US site, only the flash versions are listed.

[®®®]

US site has windows based BIOS update included (at least since 2 years or so).
