I found tricky way today: install as second OS Windows 10 (with the initial settings, I did not even configure the network) and execute from USB all BIOS updates (1.2.0, 1.3.0, etc) from Windows. Now I have 1.7.0 version on my laptop.
This is probably a bit complicated for some users and doesn't answer my first question, but the BIOS has been updated.
I used this article and as says there grub don't see windows presence. So you can choose booting Windows or Ubuntu via F12 or update grub for dual boot: sudo update-grub

Did you get any luck? I'm stuck with the same issue. Dell support is not being helpful.

Bruh, I had a feeling it would work like that, but I didn't have the energy to try it.
I don't get why Dell posts guides to update BIOS in a linux environment when it doesn't even work lol.
I guess I'll install w10 for a couple of hours.
Thanks man!
