Yes, sadly this is a common issue. Sometimes you can make a bootable
USB that will install the update, but you need Windows to extract the
files to create the USB key. It's very annoying; some programs won't
extract on another PC, as they check that they are on the correct
model.

This is one reason I always recommend people to dual-boot and all my
own PCs do. I get mocked for this sometimes but it makes life easier.
