HP Computer Owners - update your UEFI

If you own an HP computer, you know that HP doesn't generally use the Linux Vendor Firmware Service (which is the application fwupdmgr) except for certain servers. They instead provide a .EXE file that is specific to the computer model and the UEFI version... this computer is on its third UEFI version since it was new, hence there are three .EXE files available for it. Well, .EXE files are Windows-specific. In this case, you can't even run them under Wine or PlayOnLinux to update your UEFI. Y…

I use Win10 PE to update my UEFI, because HP only provides the files in Windows-specific format, and my UEFI doesn't have a built-in update utility.
