Adaptable storage means if something happens to your primary storage, or a muOS update happens, you will have a backup. [Migrate to Secondary Storage](#migrate) If the device you are using has a secondary storage you will have the option to migrate your content to SD2. Go to Configuration then select Storage.

Sorry I misunderstood your question.

I’m sorry, but [we do not provide BIOS](https://community.muos.dev/t/click-here-for-bios-files/36).

That folder with those contents comes on a fresh install of muOS as those bios files are associated with free/open source content. Any BIOS files you added to it will be lost when you reflash unless you put them on your PC first as a backup or put them on a secondary SD card
