After making major changes to a Panasonic Toughbook, check for new Basic Input Output System (BIOS) updates. When you change the operating system or even install new hardware such as a larger hard drive, the system may not work as well as it used to or you may encounter error messages. To prevent this, update the BIOS, which is the software your motherboard uses as the liaison between the operating system and hardware. Panasonic provides free BIOS updates for their Toughbook line of computers. Warnings Writer Bio
