You can try the holding down the Windows key + the B key to recover the BIOS and pressing the power button. Keep holding down the Windows key + the B key until the laptop responds with recovering BIOS.
Why did you want to update it?
There is always a risk when updating the BIOS of a laptop or PC that has the old school MBR type BIOS.
There is less risk with the newer type EFI BIOS, but some risk is still there.
