There's no exe. They don't even provide BIOS file in the first place.

they don't seem to be of much help.

Classic corporate tech forum behaviour.

If you can get your hands on the Windows Update, you can probably extract the BIOS

How?

I can't find the exact model on their website, it seems like Acer produced this device as a low-cost deal specifically for the Indian market and decided to just... not support it?.

Which is very dumb.

update .exe

What .exe are talking about exactly? Is there some exe inside windows iso?

And idk what clevo is. Maybe a mass manufacturer of low quality computers (from my low effort search)

What a joke they are.

They don't even provide BIOS file in the first place. So no exe to extract.

it's just sad that they are not selling on my country

unofficial Windows Live USB images.

I just came to know about this

I know and Framework is just mouth watering. And Chad76 created their own distro and DE.

not important to update your BIOS

Not actually gonna update BIOS. but just curious.

bad hardware vendor.

Which accurately translates to Acer.

I called the "technical" support regarding this issue. And they said they'll only support Windows.

Making your entire hardware reliant on particular proprietary software like Windows is just stupid.

Never buying Acer again.

At this point, I don't even know which vendor to buy, when everybody is shit.

Thank you.

I think it's stupid to provide something hardware related like BIOS exclusively through a particular proprietary software like Windows.

I don't have reason to update BIOS either. But just in case.

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

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