The last BIOS in this system (Dell Inspiron 14R 5437) was:

3. Importance [critical]: Dell Technologies highly recommends
applying this important update as soon as possible. The update
contains critical bug fixes and changes to improve functionality,
reliability, and stability of your Dell system. It
may also include security fixes and other feature enhancements.
While other participants suggested to use various Linux tools, I suggest
to stay away from any update methods or flashing tools that are not the
recommended way to update BIOS\UEFI by vendor/OEM of your device.
Use only vendor/OEM supported flash programming software or BIOS\UEFI
embedded flash programmer.
You can use Linux tools only to make it possible to use the vendor/OEM
recommended ways to update BIOS\UEFI, such as to create bootable USB
drives, make FAT32 formatted partitions, etc, but not the flashing itself.
Search for update instructions and BIOS\UEFI updates for your device on
vendor/OEM web site only.
