sadly it's not convenient,

the only way lenovo offers to update the bios

is an executable to run on windows.


So a user should either have a dual boot

or install windows on an external drive and boot from that,

also the update process might wipe every boot entry beside windows.


I read that some bios updaters also run on freedos, but i didn't try
