ACPI_BIOS_ERROR with Windows 10 Installation Media

0

I have been experiencing some issues on Arch such as the WiFi part of RTL8723BS not working, and the power button not working. I have narrowed it down to the BIOS, so I am trying to flash it. Unfortunatly it seems that the only way to do that on this Lenovo MIIX 310-ICR would be to use the OEM tool available only on Windows.

Since I don't have Windows installed, I made an installation USB, but when I try to boot, I instantly get an ACPI_BIOS_ERROR BSOD, which I think is related to the issues I've been having on Arch.

Since I need to flash the BIOS to fix it, I need to get Windows working, but it won't work until I flash the BIOS.

How can I break this cycle?

How did you create the installation media? – Ramhound – 2020-02-02T12:01:51.177

@Ramhound I downloaded the ISO from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO then used WoeUSB on Linux to burn it into a USB stick
