> [!Note]
> For Intel CPU's, even [stable BIOS versions](https://community.frame.work/t/responded-11th-gen-intel-core-bios-3-17-release/25137#update-april-11-2023-2) are currently marked as [test versions](https://fwupd.org/lvfs/devices/work.frame.Laptop.TGL.BIOS.firmware) in LVFS (the default remote fwupd uses to get firmware).

> If you want to use these versions, you'll have to [explicitly enable the lvfs-testing remote](https://community.frame.work/t/responded-11th-gen-intel-core-bios-3-17-release/25137#linuxlvfs-7):

> services.fwupd.uefiCapsuleSettings.DisableCapsuleUpdateOnDisk = true;

> [!Caution]
> Before running the update, make sure you have a [NixOS live ISO](https://nixos.org/download/#nixos-iso) on a USB stick, because some firmware updates [make your system unbootable](https://community.frame.work/t/drive-not-bootable-after-bios-update/12887).
Then run
```sh
$ fwupdmgr update
```
If you cannot boot into your system after upgrading:
1. Boot into the live USB
2. Mount your system into `/mnt`
3. Run
```
sudo nixos-enter
```
4. Run
```
NIXOS_INSTALL_BOOTLOADER=1 /run/current-system/bin/switch-to-configuration boot
```
