Dell BIOS updates

[R C]

ironically,  some of the 'newer' Dell BIOS's  can handle the  binary 
bios file (.exe) on most machines, unless very (very very) old.

else you'd have to make a bootable USB stick,  and get some free dos 
version or so, and boot/run with that.

I believe you can tell, by  entering that "one time boot menu", if there 
is an option to update the BIOS, it can do it without  windows/dos etc.
