It looks like A09 is available at https://www.farmerinthedell.com/support/home/us/en/04/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=r87577 It looks like the exe itself is available at https://downloads.farmerinthedell.com/bios/PE600SC-BIOS-WIN-A09.exe Can I assume that you tried this? > Lastly, I want to stay with Windows 7 Pro-x64 only.
