Updating BIOS without Windows is possible using built-in tools or USB devices.
Updating BIOS without Windows is possible using built-in tools or USB devices.
You've been using pop_os on your Lenovo Legion 5 for a while now, but you're facing some challenges because the driver updates are only available for Windows 10 and 11 as executables, not for ISO files. The guides you found relied on an ISO, which is why you were hesitant to trust them. I'm not sure how to proceed without installing Windows, so I'm looking for advice or alternative resources. Also, since you didn't install Windows but brought a pre-installed Lenovo OS, customer support might not be the best option. If you need further assistance, feel free to share the link to the Lenovo BIOS update page. Lenovo Legion Bios
You're asking why we need an update, but if everything is working well, just skip it.
I don't notice a Lenovo flaw but see certain Intel issues that might need on-site work or LAN access. For home use these shouldn't pose a problem as expected. It's odd they lack a method to load the BIOS via USB, even if Linux support exists. Installing from an unofficial source would raise concerns.

I checked the link you shared and updated accordingly. I understand your concerns about unofficial methods, but I believe staying on official channels helps reduce risks. Thanks again to everyone who helped!
Freeso is the primary OS for professional mobile devices like HP ZBook. The maker installs it for users who prefer not to buy a Windows license. This allows the consumer to upgrade the BIOS. I’m glad you’ve resolved the issue.
