How to update BIOS on a system that only use Linux as OS.

Asking this because some clowns at Acer decided that they will only provide BIOS updates through Windows Update.

Edit: I’m not talking about installing the BIOS file. They don’t even provide BIOS file in the first place.

There is some old Acer One model that shows up. If you are okay to try and break an existing system, install Windows10 and see if the drivers work?

Else stay away from Acer as it seems to be cheap-and-dumping kind of brand. At least in india.
