I purchased my E6410 from Dell auction and it was at A01.
I updated twice but Chris is correct.
If you have any problem, and is does not complete successfully, you have a dead laptop.

Search for rufus bootable usb. Will point to sight rufus.akeo.ie. Download version 2.0. Free download.
Does not install just runs as a portable app.
Insert your usb drive and then run. Start looks like this>
The freedos is already selected. just run start and you have a bootable DOS usb. Find the BIOS updates on Dell site and download. Copy to usb and then boot the laptop from usb. Execute the BIOS file and it will step you thru update.
I had to update to A09 first. Wouldn't allow me to go directly to A10.
Fortunately, my motherboard came new with the latest BIOS version, which made me relieved, because the previous version didn't support my current CPU's series.
However, if you follow everything correctly as oneextraid has explained, all should go well. :)
Here's a link and it should allow you to get updates for your specific system:

Before updating BIOS, I would make sure that your other drivers are current.
I do not have the nvidia video so start there by making sure you have newest driver.
