Hi, a while back we created https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware/Updates to collect various ways to update firmware files including BIOS/EFI. I mainly contributed the Dell/Latitude experience and there it was pretty straight forward. Maybe that is the same for Inspiron. If it is, feel invited to update the page accordingly. Nowadays also a lot should be possible via fwupd https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware/Updates#fwupd though I did not yet try that approach myself. Sven
