(solved)Processor firmware updates- affect multiboot?

Post by galeforce »

This system has a three system multi-boot setup.
Linux Mint 18.2 Mate indicated there was an Intel Firmware update available and it was installed.
Having performed the update on one OS does it make sense to update the firmware on the other two systems?
Would the package if shown available for an Ubuntu or older Mint have a negative affect on the later system?
