/forceit in Command Prompt Gives error: unknown command
Solution 1:
- Make Bootable FreeDOS USB Drive personally I used Rufus Portable.
- Copy the BIOS EXE File. Mine was 3442A14.exe for Inspiron 3542.
- Restart computer and press F12 at boot logo.
- Boot the USB Drive.
- DOS window should appear now type the first letter of the filename and then press tab or type the full name of the file followed by /Forceit
- Press Y to continue update. Update should prepare files the restart and then start updating with percent bar repeated several times and then restart to start Windows with BIOS updated.
Solution 2:
/forceit
is not a command of its own, you need to use it as a command line parameter like DellBIOSUpdater.exe /forceit
