Modern Intel PCs rarely have optical drives. Write the updated ISO to a USB:

Note: Disable Secure Boot and enable CSM/Legacy Boot in your Intel BIOS.


You might wonder: Can’t any Linux ISO run on Intel? The answer is yes, but not optimally. The "for Intel processors" distinction matters for three key reasons:

The "upd" (update) component ensures you’re not running an obsolete kernel. The maintainers have backported Intel-specific fixes from kernel 6.6+ into this release.

Because the update mechanism (upd-intel-tool) fetches binaries from the internet, ensure you are on a trusted network. The tool verifies signatures against a known Intel GPG key embedded in the ISO. You can manually verify:

gpg --verify intel-microcode-20241023.sig

Never run the upd tool from a public Wi-Fi unless you have manually checked the certificate chain.
