The installation appeared successful: there was one complaint early on when checking the installation that one file had errors and there may be errors later.

You would been better off keeping Windows, just shrinking it down and
dual-booting with Linux. This makes it much easier to update your
firmware.

This is what I recommend you do: check for BIOS or UEFI updates and
install the latest. If your laptop is new enough to still be under
warranty, then you can install updates in the firmware using a USB
key. It doesn't even need to be bootable.
