Boards/BIOSes initially released did not have Instant Flash. Please update the BIOS to the latest released using the DOS method with the DOS BIOS file and you will happily discover Instant Flash is NOW within the BIOS.

If you need direction doing this please ask.

Thanks again, and with your first tip I was able to solve the problem.

I researched the internet, and found this very good post that explains how to update BIO via DOS:

I used RUFUS software to create a bootable USB stick.

After that, I logged into the ASROCK website and downloaded the latest bios update available via DOS for my motherboard (X370 Killer SLI).

I made the boot via Pendrive and executed the file. I had doubts on the commands needed but I consulted this site that lists the commands via DOS (I used the DIR and then I ran the ASROCK .exe file for my motherboard - the letter "A" was changed by ~ symbol, só I used tab top autocomplete the file name)

And everything worked, updated BIOS to latest version.

Thank you again Wink
