Originally gad Win 11 Pro on it, and I have since removed that completely and now have Linux Mint 22.1 on it.

What I NEED to do is update my BIOS, BUT unfortunately it only comes with Windows related stuff on the site.

I was able to download the .exe file, BUT, how do I go about updating BIOS with a Windows .exe and a Linux OS running?

Do NOT use Wine, so that is off the table.

You can't update the BIOS without at least using another Windows PC to create the USB BIOS recovery drive so you can update the BIOS without being in Windows.

 

Watch these videos for how to create and use a BIOS recovery flash drive with the BIOS exe file using another Windows PC:
