Why do that? Can’t you just put the BIOS update on the USB drive and just update through the BIOS itself? That’s what I do, and I find it much safer than doing it through Windows because a Windows update happening could ruin everything (and since I rarely boot into Windows, that’s a pretty high chance of happening).
Some motherboard vendors may not distribute them that way, but if they do, that’s my preferred route.
laptop bios updates are usually .exe files if the stock build ships with wendoze on it. I don’t make the rules unfortunately. you have an old dell or lenovo that you converted to a linux machine, you have to deal with the devil occasionally.
just run windows to go off a pendrive and you don’t have to worry about it stinking up your default drive and taking up valuable space.
Pro: My two biggest annoyances when using Wayland got fixed, which were no color temperature adjustments (Night light) and no G-Sync.
Con: Games now display frames out of order, making them unplayable.
mine as well:
it’s getting to the point now where I may only need to boot into wendoze from a pendrive to install BIOS updates
