They usually have an installer for you to run from either Windows or FreeDOS.
Some models have bootable FreeDOS images with the firmware updates, and fewer still actually have a firmware update tool inside the firmware (and accessing it is not very straightforward).
However, they usually have an emergency flashing procedure (which they do not publicize), made by the firmware manufacturer, which is the same across PC brands (e.g. Insyde firmwares have a keyboard combination to be pressed while system is off, something which also works with Acer laptops which make use of Insyde firmwares).
