Hello,

I did such a thing about a year ago. I do not remember the details, but I
think I had downloaded a windows exe file, then I extracted the firmware from it
(I do not remember which software I used, maybe binwalk), I put it on a
usb key and finally I installed it using the utility in the motherboard,
available when powering the computer, before booting windows.

Cheers,

Lorenzo Salvadore
