Hi folks, just a friendly reminder that we hear you and while we do not have an update, I do have a workaround I will explain below shortly.
What you already know
The BIOS is available for Windows and as soon as we have the EFI Shell Update file ready to be posted, it will be mentioned here. I get it, this isn’t ideal, but I will share the workaround I used personally.
My own personal workaround as a Linux user
As a fellow full time Linux user, what I did with my own 11th gen laptop was to pop in another drive, create a USB installer image, install Windows. Then update the BIOS, remove the drive for the previous one that had my Fedora install on it, called it a day.
Ideal? No. But it is doable to get your BIOS up to date. It’s worth noting that this approach allowed me to focus on making sure the 11th gen laptop was fully updated with the latest BIOS until we have the cycles to get the EFI image out.
Being clear. This is simply a post offering a workaround I used as I needed to get my own 11th gen updated.
Again, I appreciate your patience.
