Re: put file.exe on usb flash drive

first: proper english
if english isn't your first language use https://www.deepl.com/

topic: placing any file on any storage is the same both on windows and linux
for something important as a bios flash you should use fat32 and something like freedos to make a bootable media

you also should refer to the motherboard manual - it usually has a section explain how to update the bios
if it's a new udate your board seems rather new and by this is likely a uefi platform - it should have means to update by itself - using a dos boot and a flash utility is something of the pre-uefi era back before 2010
