I have a ASUS CG8265 and i don't know what motherboard i have, i currently use a 2012 BIOS from ASUS that i want to update but i don't know if there is any updated version because i can't find the motherboard.

On the ASUSTek website i can find BIOS Updates, but not for OS: Windows 10. Only windows 8 and below. Please help.

You only update the BIOS if you are seeing an actual problem, and a newer BIOS addresses that actual problem.
Don't update it 'just because'.

If things are working, leave it be.

Look like you have prebuild computer, but in google for me its 1st thing that pops out. https://www.asus.com/sg/support/Download/14/11/6/16/aInIBRoSFLBpJMcg/41/
But if you don't have problems with you pc, don't update bios.

Bios have nothing with your operating system, it is totally independent and for all operating systems is same. Bios is thing that makes computer start up and check if everything is running fine, then it looks on connected hard drive for operating system, start it up and gives it control over hardware. At this point bios stops working and all work does operating system.
