The GPD Win Max 2 updates in two parts: chipset, GPU, and touchpad components come from Windows and the GPD download page, while the BIOS and EC firmware are flashed from a FAT32 USB drive via the FN + F7 boot menu. Confirm your model year/CPU in Task Manager first so you download the matching BIOS, and keep the device on AC power the whole time.
