Can I check my BIOS version?

Check Your BIOS Version by Using the System Information Panel. You can also find your BIOS’s version number in the System Information window. On Windows 7, 8, or 10, hit Windows+R, type “msinfo32” into the Run box, and then hit Enter. The BIOS version number is displayed on the System Summary pane.

Is there a BIOS in Linux?

The Linux kernel directly drives the hardware and does not use the BIOS. Since the Linux kernel does not use the BIOS, most of the hardware initialization is overkill.
