Asking this because some clowns at Acer decided that they will only provide BIOS updates through Windows Update.

Edit: I'm not talking about installing the BIOS file. They don't even provide BIOS file in the first place.

I don't think fwupd has firmware for this particular laptop. ( Acer One 14 Z2-493 )

Also, I'm not talking about installing the BIOS file. They don't even provide BIOS file in the first place.
