No, flashing the bios will not affect anything that you have in windows, unless you make a mistake with the flash and have to reinstall windows.

You could actually cause problems. Most of the time, the reason you would do this is if you have a new processor that you want to put in and it needs the new version of the BIOS to run. Or if this is a fix to a problem that the MFG has found and this is a fix, and you have the same problem.
