Why do that? Can't you just put the BIOS update on the USB drive and just update through the BIOS itself? That's what I do, and I find it much safer than doing it through Windows because a Windows update happening could ruin everything (and since I rarely boot into Windows, that's a pretty high chance of happening).
Some motherboard vendors may not distribute them that way, but if they do, that's my preferred route.
laptop bios updates are usually .exe files if the stock build ships with wendoze on it. I don't make the rules unfortunately. you have an old dell or lenovo that you converted to a linux machine, you have to deal with the devil occasionally.
just run windows to go off a pendrive and you don't have to worry about it stinking up your default drive and taking up valuable space.
