create an usb boot stick with FreeDOS, copy the DOS bios update files within the downloaded zip to the usb stick as well, boot from it and run "BIOS.BAT" as stated in the readme.

Mindaugas,

Google Hiren's Boot CD. You can run mini XP or DOS applications from CD.
It can also be loaded onto USB.

Most computer manufacturers "assume" you are running Windows with DOS.
