So I bought a Late 2013 MacBook Pro 15" dual graphics a few years back with no SSD. I think got an adapter and used my own NVME SSD. Since I updated to Big Sur, the firmware had not been updated. Still have the old bong and the old-style boot menu. System report says "System Firmware Version: 156.0.0.0.0". This mac seems to run quite slow too compared to how it ran on Catalina. Wondering if updating the firmware might help with that.
Any suggestions on how I can manually update the firmware WITHOUT buying an Apple origional SSD?
