    Hi,
    There are no tools for updating BIOS, if you are confident enough, you can update it yourself, otherwise get help from a professional at a local repair shop.
    Please post your model name, you could also go to Acer support site, check whether you have new BIOS released for your model, download the correct BIOS for your model and install it.

    Hi,
    Your current BIOS version is R02-A3 but it doesn't show up in Acer support site, so I am not sure whether this is a modified BIOS or not, you have to be careful when updating BIOS, that's the main reason I have mentioned not to update and leave it alone in one of my replies. 
    https://www.acer.com/ac/en/GB/content/support-product/6373?b=1
    If you still insist, please follow the steps:
    1.Download the latest BIOS to Desktop and extract it in Desktop.
    2. Close all open Apps, Programs and web sites.
    3. Disconnect any peripherals like USB drives, headphones, Printers etc.
    4. Make sure that there won't be any power outage or any interruptions, choose a time when others are not using any PC/Laptops in your household.
    5. Uninstall any third party AV programs if you have installed(others may disagree with me but I would do this).
    6. Open the extracted folder, right click .exe file and choose "Run as administrator", follow the screen prompts.
    7. Once the process  begins, do not switch off the PC or touch any buttons, wait for the process to complete and reboot to Windows.
