          From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n
          \n
          Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).\n
          \n
          Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.\n
          \n
          ### Rules\n
          \n
          - Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.\n
          - No misinformation\n
          - No NSFW content\n
          - No hate speech, bigotry, etc\n

        How to update the BIOS on a Dell laptop running Linux\n
        =====================================================\n
        \n
        ### For models not supported by [lvfs](https://fwupd.org/)\n
        \n
        ### Completed successfully on a Dell Inspiron 3595 running Manjaro\n
        \n
        This fix does not require Manjaro, it should work on any distro.\n
        \n
        It took me a looong time to figure out how to do this for various reasons, and there are a *lot* of forum posts on the net about this exact problem. So for posterity I offer up this guide for any future googlers.\n
        \n
        **TLDR for advanced users:** Use Ventoy to boot the Windows 10 installer and open the command prompt in the “Repair my PC” menu to launch the Dell BIOS update executable from a second USB.\n
        \n
        1. Grab two USBs that are at least 8 GB in capacity.\n
        2. Download the BIOS update file from the Dell support website.\n
        3. Copy it to the first USB. Mine was formatted as NTFS but I don’t think it’s critical to the process.\n
        4. Download [Ventoy](https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy). If you’ve never heard of this, spend a minute reading about it. It’s a cool tool.\n
        5. Flash Ventoy to your **second** USB.\n
        6. Acquire an .iso of Windows 10. I chose Windows 10 because Windows 7 didn’t boot on my laptop (not sure why), and Windows 11 was too heavy for the CPU. I also tried Freedos but my laptop only has UEFI boot enabled, and no legacy option, which is apparently not supported. **Note - you don’t actually need to install or activate Windows in any way** so I didn’t feel it was necessary to be too picky about how I acquired the image.\n
        7. Copy the Windows 10 .iso file to your Ventoy USB.\n
        8. Boot from the Ventoy USB and select Windows 10. (F12 on most Dell laptops to interrupt the boot sequence)\n
        9. Click “Repair my PC” in the bottom left hand corner - DO NOT install.\n
        10. Click on the “Use command prompt” option which should be in the “Troubleshoot” menu.\n
        11. Insert your first USB with the Dell BIOS update file on it.\n
        12. Change directory to your first USB. It automatically mounted mine as `D:`Simply type the name of the drive to change to it.\n
        13. Type the name of the BIOS update file to execute. For example: `Inspiron_3595_1.5.0.exe`If you forget the name of the file, type `dir` to get a list of files in the current directory.\n
        14. Watch the magic happen and don’t freak out if it reboots more than once - just let it do its thing until it’s finished.\n
        15. (Optional) boot into the BIOS to confirm that the update has been successful (check the version number).\n
        \n
        The entire process was fairly quick, less than 5 mintes, and it automatically rebooted twice. The only indication I had that it was finished was that on the third reboot it booted back into Linux. I went back into the BIOS later to confirm that the BIOS version number matched the version number on the Dell website (in this case, 1.5.0).

          From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n
          \n
          Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).\n
          \n
          Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.\n
          \n
          ### Rules\n
          \n
          - Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.\n
          - No misinformation\n
          - No NSFW content\n
          - No hate speech, bigotry, etc\n

        How to update the BIOS on a Dell laptop running Linux\n
        =====================================================\n
        \n
        ### For models not supported by [lvfs](https://fwupd.org/)\n
        \n
        ### Completed successfully on a Dell Inspiron 3595 running Manjaro\n
        \n
        This fix does not require Manjaro, it should work on any distro.\n
        \n
        It took me a looong time to figure out how to do this for various reasons, and there are a *lot* of forum posts on the net about this exact problem. So for posterity I offer up this guide for any future googlers.\n
        \n
        **TLDR for advanced users:** Use Ventoy to boot the Windows 10 installer and open the command prompt in the “Repair my PC” menu to launch the Dell BIOS update executable from a second USB.\n
        \n
        1. Grab two USBs that are at least 8 GB in capacity.\n
        2. Download the BIOS update file from the Dell support website.\n
        3. Copy it to the first USB. Mine was formatted as NTFS but I don’t think it’s critical to the process.\n
        4. Download [Ventoy](https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy). If you’ve never heard of this, spend a minute reading about it. It’s a cool tool.\n
        5. Flash Ventoy to your **second** USB.\n
        6. Acquire an .iso of Windows 10. I chose Windows 10 because Windows 7 didn’t boot on my laptop (not sure why), and Windows 11 was too heavy for the CPU. I also tried Freedos but my laptop only has UEFI boot enabled, and no legacy option, which is apparently not supported. **Note - you don’t actually need to install or activate Windows in any way** so I didn’t feel it was necessary to be too picky about how I acquired the image.\n
        7. Copy the Windows 10 .iso file to your Ventoy USB.\n
        8. Boot from the Ventoy USB and select Windows 10. (F12 on most Dell laptops to interrupt the boot sequence)\n
        9. Click “Repair my PC” in the bottom left hand corner - DO NOT install.\n
        10. Click on the “Use command prompt” option which should be in the “Troubleshoot” menu.\n
        11. Insert your first USB with the Dell BIOS update file on it.\n
        12. Change directory to your first USB. It automatically mounted mine as `D:`Simply type the name of the drive to change to it.\n
        13. Type the name of the BIOS update file to execute. For example: `Inspiron_3595_1.5.0.exe`If you forget the name of the file, type `dir` to get a list of files in the current directory.\n
        14. Watch the magic happen and don’t freak out if it reboots more than once - just let it do its thing until it’s finished.\n
        15. (Optional) boot into the BIOS to confirm that the update has been successful (check the version number).\n
        \n
        The entire process was fairly quick, less than 5 mintes, and it automatically rebooted twice. The only indication I had that it was finished was that on the third reboot it booted back into Linux. I went back into the BIOS later to confirm that the BIOS version number matched the version number on the Dell website (in this case, 1.5.0).

      How to update the BIOS on a Dell laptop running Linux\n
      =====================================================\n
      \n
      ### For models not supported by [lvfs](https://fwupd.org/)\n
      \n
      ### Completed successfully on a Dell Inspiron 3595 running Manjaro\n
      \n
      This fix does not require Manjaro, it should work on any distro.\n
      \n
      It took me a looong time to figure out how to do this for various reasons, and there are a *lot* of forum posts on the net about this exact problem. So for posterity I offer up this guide for any future googlers.\n
      \n
      **TLDR for advanced users:** Use Ventoy to boot the Windows 10 installer and open the command prompt in the “Repair my PC” menu to launch the Dell BIOS update executable from a second USB.\n
      \n
      1. Grab two USBs that are at least 8 GB in capacity.\n
      2. Download the BIOS update file from the Dell support website.\n
      3. Copy it to the first USB. Mine was formatted as NTFS but I don’t think it’s critical to the process.\n
      4. Download [Ventoy](https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy). If you’ve never heard of this, spend a minute reading about it. It’s a cool tool.\n
      5. Flash Ventoy to your **second** USB.\n
      6. Acquire an .iso of Windows 10. I chose Windows 10 because Windows 7 didn’t boot on my laptop (not sure why), and Windows 11 was too heavy for the CPU. I also tried Freedos but my laptop only has UEFI boot enabled, and no legacy option, which is apparently not supported. **Note - you don’t actually need to install or activate Windows in any way** so I didn’t feel it was necessary to be too picky about how I acquired the image.\n
      7. Copy the Windows 10 .iso file to your Ventoy USB.\n
      8. Boot from the Ventoy USB and select Windows 10. (F12 on most Dell laptops to interrupt the boot sequence)\n
      9. Click “Repair my PC” in the bottom left hand corner - DO NOT install.\n
      10. Click on the “Use command prompt” option which should be in the “Troubleshoot” menu.\n
      11. Insert your first USB with the Dell BIOS update file on it.\n
      12. Change directory to your first USB. It automatically mounted mine as `D:`Simply type the name of the drive to change to it.\n
      13. Type the name of the BIOS update file to execute. For example: `Inspiron_3595_1.5.0.exe`If you forget the name of the file, type `dir` to get a list of files in the current directory.\n
      14. Watch the magic happen and don’t freak out if it reboots more than once - just let it do its thing until it’s finished.\n
      15. (Optional) boot into the BIOS to confirm that the update has been successful (check the version number).\n
      \n
      The entire process was fairly quick, less than 5 mintes, and it automatically rebooted twice. The only indication I had that it was finished was that on the third reboot it booted back into Linux. I went back into the BIOS later to confirm that the BIOS version number matched the version number on the Dell website (in this case, 1.5.0).

        From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n
        \n
        Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).\n
        \n
        Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.\n
        \n
        ### Rules\n
        \n
        - Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.\n
        - No misinformation\n
        - No NSFW content\n
        - No hate speech, bigotry, etc\n

      How to update the BIOS on a Dell laptop running Linux\n
      =====================================================\n
      \n
      ### For models not supported by [lvfs](https://fwupd.org/)\n
      \n
      ### Completed successfully on a Dell Inspiron 3595 running Manjaro\n
      \n
      This fix does not require Manjaro, it should work on any distro.\n
      \n
      It took me a looong time to figure out how to do this for various reasons, and there are a *lot* of forum posts on the net about this exact problem. So for posterity I offer up this guide for any future googlers.\n
      \n
      **TLDR for advanced users:** Use Ventoy to boot the Windows 10 installer and open the command prompt in the “Repair my PC” menu to launch the Dell BIOS update executable from a second USB.\n
      \n
      1. Grab two USBs that are at least 8 GB in capacity.\n
      2. Download the BIOS update file from the Dell support website.\n
      3. Copy it to the first USB. Mine was formatted as NTFS but I don’t think it’s critical to the process.\n
      4. Download [Ventoy](https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy). If you’ve never heard of this, spend a minute reading about it. It’s a cool tool.\n
      5. Flash Ventoy to your **second** USB.\n
      6. Acquire an .iso of Windows 10. I chose Windows 10 because Windows 7 didn’t boot on my laptop (not sure why), and Windows 11 was too heavy for the CPU. I also tried Freedos but my laptop only has UEFI boot enabled, and no legacy option, which is apparently not supported. **Note - you don’t actually need to install or activate Windows in any way** so I didn’t feel it was necessary to be too picky about how I acquired the image.\n
      7. Copy the Windows 10 .iso file to your Ventoy USB.\n
      8. Boot from the Ventoy USB and select Windows 10. (F12 on most Dell laptops to interrupt the boot sequence)\n
      9. Click “Repair my PC” in the bottom left hand corner - DO NOT install.\n
      10. Click on the “Use command prompt” option which should be in the “Troubleshoot” menu.\n
      11. Insert your first USB with the Dell BIOS update file on it.\n
      12. Change directory to your first USB. It automatically mounted mine as `D:`Simply type the name of the drive to change to it.\n
      13. Type the name of the BIOS update file to execute. For example: `Inspiron_3595_1.5.0.exe`If you forget the name of the file, type `dir` to get a list of files in the current directory.\n
      14. Watch the magic happen and don’t freak out if it reboots more than once - just let it do its thing until it’s finished.\n
      15. (Optional) boot into the BIOS to confirm that the update has been successful (check the version number).\n
      \n
      The entire process was fairly quick, less than 5 mintes, and it automatically rebooted twice. The only indication I had that it was finished was that on the third reboot it booted back into Linux. I went back into the BIOS later to confirm that the BIOS version number matched the version number on the Dell website (in this case, 1.5.0).

          From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n
          \n
          Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).\n
          \n
          Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.\n
          \n
          ### Rules\n
          \n
          - Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.\n

        How to update the BIOS on a Dell laptop running Linux\n
        =====================================================\n
        \n
        ### For models not supported by [lvfs](https://fwupd.org/)\n
        \n
        ### Completed successfully on a Dell Inspiron 3595 running Manjaro\n
        \n
        This fix does not require Manjaro, it should work on any distro.\n
        \n
        It took me a looong time to figure out how to do this for various reasons, and there are a *lot* of forum posts on the net about this exact problem. So for posterity I offer up this guide for any future googlers.\n
        \n
        **TLDR for advanced users:** Use Ventoy to boot the Windows 10 installer and open the command prompt in the “Repair my PC” menu to launch the Dell BIOS update executable from a second USB.\n
        \n
        1. Grab two USBs that are at least 8 GB in capacity.\n
        2. Download the BIOS update file from the Dell support website.\n
        3. Copy it to the first USB. Mine was formatted as NTFS but I don’t think it’s critical to the process.\n
        4. Download [Ventoy](https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy). If you’ve never heard of this, spend a minute reading about it. It’s a cool tool.\n
        5. Flash Ventoy to your **second** USB.\n
        6. Acquire an .iso of Windows 10. I chose Windows 10 because Windows 7 didn’t boot on my laptop (not sure why), and Windows 11 was too heavy for the CPU. I also tried Freedos but my laptop only has UEFI boot enabled, and no legacy option, which is apparently not supported. **Note - you don’t actually need to install or activate Windows in any way** so I didn’t feel it was necessary to be too picky about how I acquired the image.\n
        7. Copy the Windows 10 .iso file to your Ventoy USB.\n
        8. Boot from the Ventoy USB and select Windows 10. (F12 on most Dell laptops to interrupt the boot sequence)\n
        9. Click “Repair my PC” in the bottom left hand corner - DO NOT install.\n
        10. Click on the “Use command prompt” option which should be in the “Troubleshoot” menu.\n
        11. Insert your first USB with the Dell BIOS update file on it.\n
        12. Change directory to your first USB. It automatically mounted mine as `D:`Simply type the name of the drive to change to it.\n
        13. Type the name of the BIOS update file to execute. For example: `Inspiron_3595_1.5.0.exe`If you forget the name of the file, type `dir` to get a list of files in the current directory.\n
        14. Watch the magic happen and don’t freak out if it reboots more than once - just let it do its thing until it’s finished.\n
        15. (Optional) boot into the BIOS to confirm that the update has been successful (check the version number).\n
        \n
        The entire process was fairly quick, less than 5 mintes, and it automatically rebooted twice. The only indication I had that it was finished was that on the third reboot it booted back into Linux. I went back into the BIOS later to confirm that the BIOS version number matched the version number on the Dell website (in this case, 1.5.0).

          From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n
          \n
          Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).\n
          \n
          Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.\n
          \n

          \n
          - Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.\n

        How to update the BIOS on a Dell laptop running Linux\n
        =====================================================\n
        \n
        ### For models not supported by [lvfs](https://fwupd.org/)\n
        \n
        ### Completed successfully on a Dell Inspiron 3595 running Manjaro\n
        \n
        This fix does not require Manjaro, it should work on any distro.\n
        \n
        It took me a looong time to figure out how to do this for various reasons, and there are a *lot* of forum posts on the net about this exact problem. So for posterity I offer up this guide for any future googlers.\n
        \n
        **TLDR for advanced users:** Use Ventoy to boot the Windows 10 installer and open the command prompt in the “Repair my PC” menu to launch the Dell BIOS update executable from a second USB.\n
        \n
        1. Grab two USBs that are at least 8 GB in capacity.\n
        2. Download the BIOS update file from the Dell support website.\n
        3. Copy it to the first USB. Mine was formatted as NTFS but I don’t think it’s critical to the process.\n
        4. Download [Ventoy](https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy). If you’ve never heard of this, spend a minute reading about it. It’s a cool tool.\n
        5. Flash Ventoy to your **second** USB.\n
        6. Acquire an .iso of Windows 10. I chose Windows 10 because Windows 7 didn’t boot on my laptop (not sure why), and Windows 11 was too heavy for the CPU. I also tried Freedos but my laptop only has UEFI boot enabled, and no legacy option, which is apparently not supported. **Note - you don’t actually need to install or activate Windows in any way** so I didn’t feel it was necessary to be too picky about how I acquired the image.\n
        7. Copy the Windows 10 .iso file to your Ventoy USB.\n
        8. Boot from the Ventoy USB and select Windows 10. (F12 on most Dell laptops to interrupt the boot sequence)\n
        9. Click “Repair my PC” in the bottom left hand corner - DO NOT install.\n
        10. Click on the “Use command prompt” option which should be in the “Troubleshoot” menu.\n
        11. Insert your first USB with the Dell BIOS update file on it.\n
        12. Change directory to your first USB. It automatically mounted mine as `D:`Simply type the name of the drive to change to it.\n
        13. Type the name of the BIOS update file to execute. For example: `Inspiron_3595_1.5.0.exe`If you forget the name of the file, type `dir` to get a list of files in the current directory.\n
        14. Watch the magic happen and don’t freak out if it reboots more than once - just let it do its thing until it’s finished.\n
        15. (Optional) boot into the BIOS to confirm that the update has been successful (check the version number).\n
        \n
        The entire process was fairly quick, less than 5 mintes, and it automatically rebooted twice. The only indication I had that it was finished was that on the third reboot it booted back into Linux. I went back into the BIOS later to confirm that the BIOS version number matched the version number on the Dell website (in this case, 1.5.0).

          From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n
          \n
          Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).\n
          \n
          Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.\n
          \n
          ### Rules\n
          \n
          - Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.\n

        How to update the BIOS on a Dell laptop running Linux\n
        =====================================================\n
        \n
        ### For models not supported by [lvfs](https://fwupd.org/)\n
        \n
        ### Completed successfully on a Dell Inspiron 3595 running Manjaro\n
        \n
        This fix does not require Manjaro, it should work on any distro.\n
        \n
        It took me a looong time to figure out how to do this for various reasons, and there are a *lot* of forum posts on the net about this exact problem. So for posterity I offer up this guide for any future googlers.\n
        \n
        **TLDR for advanced users:** Use Ventoy to boot the Windows 10 installer and open the command prompt in the “Repair my PC” menu to launch the Dell BIOS update executable from a second USB.\n
        \n
        1. Grab two USBs that are at least 8 GB in capacity.\n
        2. Download the BIOS update file from the Dell support website.\n
        3. Copy it to the first USB. Mine was formatted as NTFS but I don’t think it’s critical to the process.\n
        4. Download [Ventoy](https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy). If you’ve never heard of this, spend a minute reading about it. It’s a cool tool.\n
        5. Flash Ventoy to your **second** USB.\n
        6. Acquire an .iso of Windows 10. I chose Windows 10 because Windows 7 didn’t boot on my laptop (not sure why), and Windows 11 was too heavy for the CPU. I also tried Freedos but my laptop only has UEFI boot enabled, and no legacy option, which is apparently not supported. **Note - you don’t actually need to install or activate Windows in any way** so I didn’t feel it was necessary to be too picky about how I acquired the image.\n
        7. Copy the Windows 10 .iso file to your Ventoy USB.\n
        8. Boot from the Ventoy USB and select Windows 10. (F12 on most Dell laptops to interrupt the boot sequence)\n
        9. Click “Repair my PC” in the bottom left hand corner - DO NOT install.\n
        10. Click on the “Use command prompt” option which should be in the “Troubleshoot” menu.\n
        11. Insert your first USB with the Dell BIOS update file on it.\n
        12. Change directory to your first USB. It automatically mounted mine as `D:`Simply type the name of the drive to change to it.\n
        13. Type the name of the BIOS update file to execute. For example: `Inspiron_3595_1.5.0.exe`If you forget the name of the file, type `dir` to get a list of files in the current directory.\n
        14. Watch the magic happen and don’t freak out if it reboots more than once - just let it do its thing until it’s finished.\n
        15. (Optional) boot into the BIOS to confirm that the update has been successful (check the version number).\n
        \n
        The entire process was fairly quick, less than 5 mintes, and it automatically rebooted twice. The only indication I had that it was finished was that on the third reboot it booted back into Linux. I went back into the BIOS later to confirm that the BIOS version number matched the version number on the Dell website (in this case, 1.5.0).

          From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n
          \n
          Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).\n
          \n
          Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.\n
          \n
          ### Rules\n
          \n
          - Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.\n

        How to update the BIOS on a Dell laptop running Linux\n
        =====================================================\n
        \n
        ### For models not supported by [lvfs](https://fwupd.org/)\n
        \n
        ### Completed successfully on a Dell Inspiron 3595 running Manjaro\n
        \n
        This fix does not require Manjaro, it should work on any distro.\n
        \n
        It took me a looong time to figure out how to do this for various reasons, and there are a *lot* of forum posts on the net about this exact problem. So for posterity I offer up this guide for any future googlers.\n
        \n
        **TLDR for advanced users:** Use Ventoy to boot the Windows 10 installer and open the command prompt in the “Repair my PC” menu to launch the Dell BIOS update executable from a second USB.\n
        \n
        1. Grab two USBs that are at least 8 GB in capacity.\n
        2. Download the BIOS update file from the Dell support website.\n
        3. Copy it to the first USB. Mine was formatted as NTFS but I don’t think it’s critical to the process.\n
        4. Download [Ventoy](https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy). If you’ve never heard of this, spend a minute reading about it. It’s a cool tool.\n
        5. Flash Ventoy to your **second** USB.\n
        6. Acquire an .iso of Windows 10. I chose Windows 10 because Windows 7 didn’t boot on my laptop (not sure why), and Windows 11 was too heavy for the CPU. I also tried Freedos but my laptop only has UEFI boot enabled, and no legacy option, which is apparently not supported. **Note - you don’t actually need to install or activate Windows in any way** so I didn’t feel it was necessary to be too picky about how I acquired the image.\n
        7. Copy the Windows 10 .iso file to your Ventoy USB.\n
        8. Boot from the Ventoy USB and select Windows 10. (F12 on most Dell laptops to interrupt the boot sequence)\n
        9. Click “Repair my PC” in the bottom left hand corner - DO NOT install.\n
        10. Click on the “Use command prompt” option which should be in the “Troubleshoot” menu.\n
        11. Insert your first USB with the Dell BIOS update file on it.\n
        12. Change directory to your first USB. It automatically mounted mine as `D:`Simply type the name of the drive to change to it.\n
        13. Type the name of the BIOS update file to execute. For example: `Inspiron_3595_1.5.0.exe`If you forget the name of the file, type `dir` to get a list of files in the current directory.\n
        14. Watch the magic happen and don’t freak out if it reboots more than once - just let it do its thing until it’s finished.\n
        15. (Optional) boot into the BIOS to confirm that the update has been successful (check the version number).\n
        \n
        The entire process was fairly quick, less than 5 mintes, and it automatically rebooted twice. The only indication I had that it was finished was that on the third reboot it booted back into Linux. I went back into the BIOS later to confirm that the BIOS version number matched the version number on the Dell website (in this case, 1.5.0).
