Windows 10: BIOS Flash Update

Hello! Just recently I've been trying to install MSI Drivers for my BIOS. It came with two files that I couldn't simply run through windows. I looked up a video and everyone put the bios update file in a USB Flash Drive. The problem is, I don't have a USB Flash Drive. Can I store that BIOS update inside one of my C, E, or F drives?

:)

 

Should I update bios?

Lol, there is still so many myths about flashing bios and people actually believe in them. People, this is 2018, not 1998, bios updates are easy and when file is provided by manufacturer themselves then they do RMA gpus, motherboards, mice and all other devices which failed during flashing.

Still can't reproduce. Could you please post the exact BIOSes that produce the issue?
