I want to install Ubuntu onto my laptop and eliminate the Windows partitions. BIOS updates are a problem however. I want to put a WinPE image on a USB stick that I can run the Dell .exe files from, but so far I've only gotten an amd64 WinPE image to run, which can't run the BIOS update executables because it doesn't have WOW64.
1) Has anyone successfully built a 32-bit WinPE image for an XPS 13 laptop?
2) Are there any special BIOS boot settings to get it to work? AHCI vs. RAID? [No] Secure Boot? Which EFI boot image on the USB stick?
