Actually, Windows 8 isn't supported either. When I checked on drivers (looking for the BIOS), I was told I didn't have Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 installed.
So I clicked on the link you provided for F.49 and nothing about operating system was noted. I'm pretty sure that if an OS were linked to a BIOS flash, I would have been asked to give my OS.
Another thing is that the tool is UEFI. The laptop is total legacy . . . there is no way to get UEFI BIOS on it that I can see. So I'm wondering if I really want to use it on the laptop. However, it would, without a doubt, be useful for the 500-056 desktop.
As to creating the key, I would definitely have to create it on the desktop, since Lappy is legacy and would probably barf if I tried that. :)
