@Guiks​ Yes, I was able to use AOMEI Partition Assistant to increase the size of the 100 MB partition containing the BIOS info. Do not attempt this without first backing up the entire hard disk (not just the C drive) in case disaster ensues. Install software, run program, right click on C drive and Move and Resize Partition. Click box "I need to move this partition". Click on small blue box at beginning of C drive, hold down mouse key while moving slightly to the right and release. You only need a few hundred MB of space (400-600 is fine). Click Apply button in upper left corner. It takes a while to do this job so sit back. If there is a 16 MB partition saying Microsoft reserved between the new 400-600 MB partition and the C drive, you can delete it. Right click it, select delete, and then click apply button. Now you have either 1 or two empty partitions to the right of 100 MB BIOS partition. Right click on 100 MB BIOS partition and select Resize/Move partition. Click on blue box at end of partition and drag all the way over to the right. Click apply. Repeat if there is a second empty partition between 100 MB BIOS partition and C drive partition. Reboot. And then run BIOS update.

And why is this new BIOS so drastically smaller than previous releases (8MB vs. 27 MB)?

@HoustonAstro Thanks. This solved my problem I deleted the '16 MB partition saying Microsoft reserved' and that fortunately was enough to update successfully without resizing the c drive. 
If I'm correct i might have been able to use diskpart to do that. but I did use the 'AOMEI Partition Assistant' App
admittedly without doing research. but had no issues.
