Can somebody kindly answer my question please. :)
The system is working fine.
I didn't want to update the BIOS unecessarily.

Many thanks.

By flashing a BIOS you are taking a risk, sometimes it fails (quite rare but does happen). Also, is this a Beta F12 or final? Beta's can contain more problems than they solve. If F7 works fine for you, then there is no real reason to upgrade. But if you get some problems or annoying things that can be solved by it then why not :P

F12 is final bios, not beta.
beta bioses have marking like F11a, F11b, etc. while final ones end with digit
