Legion Go owners are reporting black screens and bricked devices after installing the N3CN42WW BIOS update. Have you run into issues with your handheld, or did your update go smoothly?
The OS will stage it, and the update will actually happen on reboot.
If you’re using a Linux system, you probably have fwupd installed, which can pull down BIOS updates for various attached devices, including motherboard BIOSes. I’m sure that Windows has some analog.
Even in DOS days you could flash it from the running system. It was so common that for a while flashing a vendor’s BIOS update entailed booting from a DOS bootdisk.

Yes that’s standard, as far as I know every x86 PC updates the BIOS this way.
