Dear Christopher M. Penalver (penalvch),
Many many thanks for your quick and very helpful suggestion which I shall keep close to my heart.
The ASUS laptop was purchased for a monastic brother who is a novice in computer parlance.
I have set up the laptop with Ubuntu 14.04 and updates so far. So he has LibreOffice (with British English spelling check), excel, etc. I have installed GIMP if at all he will ever use Image editing. I have installed Youtube-dl so he can download. Then I have given him the important VLC for seeing videos and listening to songs and prayer music.
I have ordered for a wireless optical mouse so that the only available two USB ports can be of use to him.
The card reader and wireless are active. So this is all he will probably need.
Against this backdrop, there is the fear of my getting the motherboard screwed up and winding up in additional expenses. So I will reserve the BIOS update until when the user monk is keen on using Bluetooth enabled devices.
Many many thanks once again. I was hoping that there could be a very simple solution. I have spent quite some time with the internet! Suggestions were plenty but nothing promising. If I can find where to do it, I shall mark the status as confirmed as suggested.
