There are multiple methods. I have a USB key with DOS on it that I
typically use for BIOS updates since vendors like DOS*. Pick whichever
method you feel most comfortable with. If you find an example that's
your model, use that.

* There's actually a technical reason why DOS is used. It's a minimal
environment that is fairly consistent. Makes validation easier for the
system manufacturer since they don't have to worry about OS versions &
the like. Make it harder for us, though...
