I have an ASUS Maximus VIII Hero mobo, I downloaded the ME Update Tool for my mobo from the ASUS website which states the correct mobo that I have, but when I run ME Update tool, I get the error 'this tool doesn't support [ASUS Maximus VIII Hero] mobo. I have windows 10 64bit running, and all the latest drivers. I did a search on the net first but found nothing to help me. I want to flash the bios, but it tells me on the asus website that I need to update the firmware first. Any ideas would be welcome.
Solved ME Update Tool not working for my mobo.

First question why do you want to update the bios ?
If the computer is working ok it is best to leave it as is.
Second question why are you not using the bios flash back via usb? Click On Me

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I want to update the bios.
I want to update the bios for a new fix that ASUS has released.
I would use the flashback, but the ASUS website say 'best to update the firmware to Version 15.0.42.2235 to ensure optimized system settings,' which is what I have been attempting to do. I am on Ver 2.17.1246.

Can you post a screen shot of the bios
you have posted conflicting information about what MB you have.
Method 1: Inquire through BIOS.
1. Press the DEL button to enter BIOS when the system boots up.
2. Check your model name at EZ mode in UEFI BIOS. - Take a picture and attach in your next reply

My very first post says ASUS Maximus VIII Hero; my confirmation post to your question says ASUS Maximus VIII Hero.
Correct.
Your link in post #6 is for a ROG MAXIMUS XIII HERO. Not VIII.
