Since it is not posted and I asked in bio's forum no reply I figured I would post this to help anyone with concerns or for how to.
 
First download your correct boards Bio's zip from here the new 1.07 bio's
http://forums.evga.com/EVGA-Z170-ClassifiedFTWStinger-BIOS-107-Released-m2435340.aspx
 
Also applies to future bios upgrades which will be in their own thread at the top of the z170 forum!
 
Now for steps.
1. If your not good at remembering the settings you have now customized please make note of them or simply use your cell phone in video mode to make a video of your current bio's config.
2. Now clear CMOS to stock hit F10 save exit to windows.
3. Open and extract the folder in the zip and drag to desktop.
4. Find the batch file at the bottom called "update"
5. I personally right clicked ran it as administrator just to be sure no conflicts.
6. Press "Y" for yes to flash then hit enter, let the bio's flash do not interrupt the process period make sure you will not lose power to system either.
7. Flash ends and will say successful.
8. Exit it will shut down a few times updating don't panic or hit the power off button let it do it's thing.
9. After completed you will be taken to clean bio's as in clearing in CMOS on my FTW I have to hit F12 to enter and setup you will now see in bottom right the new version of bio's which is now 1.07.
10. Now re-apply your settings before flash hit F10 and save back to desktop you go with updated bio's :)
 
 
Hope this helps super easy method thanks for this EVGA and top tier support no1 can beat.

Nice guide! 
 
Just as a note for people using RAID setups that cannot reset the CMOS and boot into Windows:
 
-Refer to this thread for general tips on the process, as you will need to flash the BIOS via USB since your RAID will be disabled by default. I personally use rufus to make my flash drives bootable (free and easy ) but any similar program should work.
-Extract the .bin file from the downloaded archive and copy it to your flash.
-Boot to USB and run the flashing software.
-Once you've completed the flashing process, open up the BIOS before booting and re-enable your RAID settings under the Advanced > SATA Configuration page and an F10 Save should have you on your way!

Thanks I figured if 1 person needs the answer a lot will look for one I did a lot of searching never came up with anything hope this saves some headaches and for the extra info on RAID never been of fan of using it myself and was totally out of the picture on that situation.
