What is FW file?
FW (Firmware Update File) is a dedicated file format associated with the .FW extension. Firmware update files usually include a single executable program that can be run to install the updated firmware. FW files contain the latest version of system firmware that supports new hardware, improves system performance or fixes known bugs and security issues. [ ⏩ ] FW file extension

How to convert the file from FW to FW2?
To successfully convert the FW file to FW2, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.FW). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case FW2 (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than FW2).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. FW to FW2. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting FW files to FW2 files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension FW2, while before this step we had the FW file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new FW2 file, or not.
