Help with CPU install and BIOS update

Mar 5, 2018 1:56PM PST

I am trying to install a new CPU , upon loading it says it's not supported . I know 100% it is supported . I want to update my Bios , my question is I've updated my rig to windows 10home from W8 and the bios update is for windows 8, the bios update is a later version and has CPU updates in it . Is it OK to use the windows 8 update while running w10home?
