Updating the BIOS is very easy and interesting!. You did not mention the system model but I will provide you the generic steps:

• Identify your current BIOS version
• Check your PC/motherboard manufacturer's Website for BIOS updates
• Read the included documentation

Most newer PCs have a fairly easy BIOS update procedure: Just download the .exe file from your PC manufacturer's Website, quit all open programs, run the .exe, and let it handle the patch; then reboot. If your PC suddenly shuts down in the middle of the BIOS update, you won't be able to boot up, so make sure you're not running off a laptop battery.
