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.

Make sure you read your manual on the exact method of how to flash your bios,

and only do this if you have problems, you just don't update them for no reason,

this does not make the system run better, there are specific reasons to do this.

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.

Its not a cell phone, the BIOS should only be flashed for a reason, just want to make sure you understand this.
