Hi

I just built a system with a new MB Z170 Extreme 4. Everything went fine without any problems.
All components where recognized correctly with Bios 2.80. Wireless mouse/keyboard worked
perfectly. Since 2.80 is a little outdated I had downloaded latest Bios Version 3.40 from Asrock site, unzipped it and put it on an USB stick. I invoked Instant Flash in Bios, it automatically found the Bios file and I was surprised that I was given two options. 1 option "Update Bios", 2. option "Update device" (I had German language option so it was "Gerät").
I choose Bios Update. Everything went without any problem and when I booted my Bios it was correctly flashed to 3.40 and worked fine.I then installed Windows 10, system runs perfectly.
So my question is, what is the 2. option "update device" intended to do ?
I am a little confused.

Hope, that somebody can answer.
Thanks.
