An overview for those unsure of how to install the beta when on Linux (using Hiren Win10 USB Live Boot):
*NOTE: Try this at your own risk. Just because it worked for some doesn’t mean it will work flawlessly for you.
Using a Windows computer (haven’t tested it on Linux with .exe):
- Download Hiren iso
- Download Hiren USB Flasher (ISO2USB)
- Download 3.07 Bios File (Note: It’s a beta!)
- Have a flash drive ready (I used an 8GB one).
- Open Hiren’s USB Flasher from step 2. It should auto-select your USB.
- Select the Hiren ISO file in the USB flasher menu.
- Flash the ISO!
- Once done flashing, open the USB via “This PC” in your file explorer.
- Drag the 3.07 beta bios file into the now flashed usb
- Shutdown your Framework Laptop and boot into your flashed Hiren USB.
- Once it loads up and you are presented with a “Windows 10” desktop, open up “This PC”
- Click on the main drive (where your Hiren files live) and you’ll see the BIOS file you dragged there earlier.
- Double click to install and your BIOS update process will take place automatically.
- Once complete, your Framework Laptop will boot back into Linux.
- To confirm, either:
a) Shutdown your Framework Laptop and boot into BIOS
b) runsudo dmidecode | less
in your terminal to confirm new BIOS version (3.07)
