All I can tell you is if you would have to be 100% willing accept the consequences of wrecking your PC by trying to update the BIOS using W10.

On some PCs it will work fine and on others it will not.

The related posts I can find regarding the motherboard your PC has never indicated they actually ran the BIOS updates on W10:

One of the posts indicated that W10 will block the update from running and one of the posts suggests it shouldn't be a problem to update the BIOS in W10.
