There are 3 Bios updates for my Gigabyte MB. Does the most recent file include all the previous updates? Do I need to install each one separately? Thanks for the help.

I too am a bios newb and plan on updating my bios today.
Per a previous thread the most recent bios typically contain all the “fixes”. However be certain that you don’t need a particular bios to update to the new one.

Yeah, the normal procedure is just getting the latest BIOS at once. Gigabyte and the others typically do mention if a certain BIOS update needs to be done in a specific way.

Gigabyte also has DualBIOS on even their basic motherboards, so even I ended up using their Windows tool when their Q-Flash BIOS tool didn't want to recognize my USB stick.

You probably didn't have it formatted as fat32.
