BIOS Update tool in Compatibility Mode

Basically: Should I use an update tool which is designed for windows 7 but is running on windows 10 in compatibility mode to update my bios.

 

Explanation: So the problem is my ddr3 memory is currently running at 800mhz. I've go into my bios to try and change the speed and the only options are 800mhz or Auto and both yield the same results. There is a jumper on the board labelled 133mhz mem oc and I have tried to use this but moving it's position to the other pins upsets the motherboard and sends out an memory error bios code even though the memory i'm trying to use is 133mhz rated. My bios isn't the latest version though and I believe updating may solve my problem however, the tool used to update it "Fox Live Update" is designed to be used for up to windows 7 and to get it to show any correct information about my system I had to install it using the windows compatibility tool. My over arching question about this issue is do I A:Use this tool in compatibility mode which may have unknown consequences or do I use the very old hard drive running windows XP which is also supported by the tool? Any insight would be really appreciated
