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.

    This is a large part of why I try to buy hardware with coreboot support. Your best option is probably to get a cheap 2nd drive and have a Win install on it. I’m pretty sure you can run win 10 off a USB, that would probably work, just make sure you change the drive boot order in the BIOS for the update.
