The GPD Win 4 updates in two parts: Windows-side chipset and GPU drivers come from Windows Update and the GPD download page, while the BIOS and EC firmware are flashed from a FAT32 USB drive via the FN + F7 boot menu. Confirm your CPU in Task Manager first so you download the matching BIOS, and keep the device on AC power the whole time.

FAQ

Which BIOS file do I pick?
Check your CPU in Task Manager and download the BIOS that matches it on the GPD page; the wrong file can fail to apply.
F7 is not opening a menu.
Hold FN and tap F7 repeatedly right as the device powers on; the USB drive must be formatted FAT32, not NTFS.
