      Recently booted Windows to install a BIOS update with a Windows only installer and realised it had been about a year since last boot. Think it may be time to reclaim that space.

        Most mobos usually have a bios flash utility in the bios setup itself, so you don’t need to rely on the windows installer. You just need to stick the update on a USB stick (extract the binary file from the zip).

          Sadly that’s only common for desktop PCs, with laptops it’s a lot less common. But many can be updated from within Linux nowadays
