When I logged on to my newly installed and fully upgraded Ubuntu Server 20.04.3
LTS I was greeted by the following message:

------

So I ran this command:

bosse at ubuntuserv:~$ fwupdmgr get-upgrades
WARNING: UEFI firmware can not be updated in legacy BIOS mode

And then it goes on for a page or so...

What am I supposed to do here?

I am multi-booting this PC between Windows 10, Ubuntu desktop 20.04.3, which I
installed from an USB drive and Ubuntu server 20.04.3 which I migrated from an
11 years old PC a few days back. It was 18.04 then but I did a release-upgrade
once it ran on the new PC.

The hardware is a Lenovo Ideacentre 3 07ADA05 mini-PC and it came with Windows
10, which is still remaining, I have just shrunk the Windows partition a lot to
make space for the Ubuntu transfer from the older PC.
I can still boot into Windows if needed.

It seems like the main drive, a Samsung SSD is what is in need of a f/w upgrade,
can this be done from Windows too and in that case does anyone here know how?
