If everything works normally, I wouldn't do BIOS upgrade but if you must:
Drivers & Downloads
HTH.
EDIT: When you do flashing under windows environment,make sure Internet disconnected, disable all background services like AV programs, windows defender and do not interrupt the process.

I must agree, updateing (flashing) a Bios can be risky.
I mysylf dont do it unless the the Bios update addresses a problem that your computer is suffering from and there is no other repair options available.

Edit: Just to add to what Brummyfan has already advised if you go ahead;
Unplug any devices (ie Printer etc.) disable screensaver, sleep mode, scheduled tasks (ie scheduled defrag, scans etc.) anything that could kick in by chance during the flash & reset your Bios back to default
