FWUPD Dell XPS 13 9370












1















I have a Dell XPS 13 9370 with NVME SSD and I am running Ubuntu 18.10, GNOME 3.30.1.



I am running Firmware 1.6.3 and want to update to the recently released 1.7.3. Unfortunately fwupd doesn't recognize the BIOS.

Can anyone tell me what the requirements are to get fwupd BIOS updates?



Thanks in advance for your kind help.

  • Is there a way to move from legacy to UEFI?

  • Are you just trying to update the Dell BIOS? If so, copy the .exe to a USB and press F12 during boot. You can then flash the BIOS.
