"Did you reboot the system"
ofcourse, this is done automatically (default options in InsydeFlash )
"and allow the update to apply"
What does this mean? After install update the computer restarts as usual, without any follow-up questions.
Look at the log - there is something wrong.

Try running the update again and watch what occurs during the reboot. You should see the BIOS update occur. Also make sure you have your AC adapter plugged into the unit.

I tried many times to update - BIOS is not updated after reboot. Each time log the same.
I gave you a log. What else can I watch?
"Also make sure you have your AC adapter plugged into the unit."
Ofcourse
Thank you

So how do I get this to work on something other than windows?
I am a Linux user, and will not be installing windows ever again, for any purpose. (I have been running Linux since 2004, not going to stop now.)

No Wizard, as far as I can tell anyways, I purchased it in 2011.
I want to try and update my bios without the use of windows.
I am a linux user, and will only use linux.
I could re-install windows, run the bios update. then remove windows and re-install my operating system, but I want to avoid that at all costs.

You may have UEFI support on your PC. What model are you using? There should be a Product Name and Product Number on the service label on the bottom of your PC.
If you have UEFI support, you could create a USB key on a Windows PC that you can use to update your BIOS using UEFI.
