Product: HP Stream 11
Operating System: Linux

So I was forced to replace Windows with Linux on my HP Stream 11 due to the long known problem of lack of space for ongoing Windows OS updates.  Anyway, the BIOS for the HP Steam is supplied by HP as an exe file, so this is obviously not going to work with Linux.  I have come across mention of using the diagnostic software, but the BIOS update option is missing from the HP Stream boot up diagnostic menu.  Others mention using WINE, but I don't see any positive results with that.
