I think I got myself in trouble stuck on 2.75 - I cannot downgrade to
2.60 (X230) via IVprep or the lenovo tool (I get "This app can't run
on your PC"). Is there a way forward, please?

Here is what I did and was planning to do (1vyrain, skulls and
clean/disable/break the Intel ME):
## 1. EC Patching (accept all batteries and keyboards)

https://github.com/hamishcoleman/thinkpad-ec/
It recomends using on the last modifiable version: x230 -BIOS 2.75
(G2ETB5WW) EC 1.14 (G2HT35WW)

Therefore I upgraded from my 2.55 to 2.75, by downloading
g2uj31us.exe, saving on a usb stick and running on the target
machine's windows (the bootable iso would not dd well to the usb
stick).

## 2. Downgrade from 2.75 to 2.60 (X230) (I cannot perform from here
onwards):

https://github.com/n4ru/IVprep/tree/master

Downloaded both IVprep and g2uj17us.exe and saved on the usb stick to
run on target machine's windows but then I get I get "This app can't
run on your PC".

I have tested with both:
BIOS Setup -> Security -> UEFI BIOS Update Option. Set Flash BIOS
Updating by End-Users to Enabled, and Secure RollBack Prevention to
Disabled

## 3. Get rid of the ME

I gues for this one, I should boot the target machine with a Live
Linux, clone the repo and execute
## 4. Install Skulls via 1vyrain

https://github.com/n4ru/1vyrain

This would be burn the usb stick to the 1vyrain, use the ethernet
cable and the skulls release URL
