Counterquestion: why doesn't HX Edit mention these instructions then?
When I launch HX Edit and it says "new firmware available", my first instict is not to go to internets to check installation routines but to simply follow the instructions that are already on the screen. It's 2020 after all and I expect software to figure things out itself. So if 3.0 firmware prefers (it doesn't require apparently) the HX Edit itself to be on version 3.0 as well, then the HX Edit should mention that before offering to upload new firmware. Also, "Check for Updates" function within the HX Edit would be nice too, most other software manages to bake that in.
