Hello, if I understand correctly, my HP dv5-1010ef currently has Linux instead of Vista. I want to update the BIOS (F07) to F21. The best solution is to reinstall Vista, update the BIOS, and then reinstall Linux Lite 6 Core!

Hi:

 

Yes, that is correct because you can't make a USB BIOS recovery drive with those older BIOS update files, so they can only be run using Windows.
