But before we explain how to do it, an important warning.
If something goes wrong during the BIOS update, your PC or laptop could be rendered useless. If there’s a power cut, or the computer gets turned off while updating, it could mean that it’s unable to boot at all. It’s unlikely, but not out of the question.
So, unless you have a good reason to, we’d advise you not to update the BIOS at all.
Valid reasons for updating include adding support for a new processor that you plan to install, to fix a bug, performance issue or vulnerability, or to add new features that you want or need.
Also it seems like its pretty complex for a guy like me.
Im not very technically skilled so I dont know which menu you mean and where to update the metadata.
I looked at what u linked but I dont understand most of it…
run the command i gave you to install it, then type gnome-firmware in terminal to start the program, then update metadata from the menu, then just select the uefi and click upgrade.
you can install it in other ways. Like using their boot medium, or windows
even linux has other ways to flash firmwares low-level if you have the firmware file from lenovo. But i highly recommend you don’t look into this method as just one wrong command can leave your motherboard bricked.
gnome.firmware did not show that kind of version number, so either you need to look for it at during when you boot the computer, or when you enter UEFI settings at boot.
Alternatively just make a bootable media using that file, and try it. If you have latest it does nothing. If you don’t it will update.
