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.

      they don’t seem to be of much help.

      Classic corporate tech forum behaviour.

      If you can get your hands on the Windows Update, you can probably extract the BIOS

      How?

      I can’t find the exact model on their website, it seems like Acer produced this device as a low-cost deal specifically for the Indian market and decided to just… not support it?.

      Which is very dumb.

      update .exe

      What .exe are talking about exactly? Is there some exe inside windows iso?

      And idk what clevo is. Maybe a mass manufacturer of low quality computers (from my low effort search)
