There is no A10-7650K. There is a A8-7650K. Is that what you meant? And I don't see any BIOS labeled P2.70 for the Asrock FM2A58M-VG3+ R2.0. http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/FM2A58M-VG3+%20R2.0/?cat=CPU
Let's be sure we are on the same page here. Maybe you can link me to your exact board in case I'm looking at the wrong one. And same with the APU.

Your BIOS should be the version listed here. Instructions on various methods to update BIOS ate listed by the red cross.

You should check what your current BIOS version is.

Then just check what BIOS you have now. You may be good. Use CPU-Z and look under the mainboard tab for the BIOS version/date. http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
If your BIOS is late enough, it is just a simple CPU swap and you're done.

I check it its P2.70 so... its clear to go
Is it ok coz I change some of the option on the bios
I change the ram speed and I enable the xboost features of the motherboard

It probably shouldn't make any difference if you are simply swapping the APU. The new APU has faster RAM speed capabilities than the old one. Xboost, I'm not familiar enough with to say for sure, but I doubt it would make any difference,

However, If you are familiar with your BIOS, you may want to reset everything back to default until the new APU is installed and booted to Windows... just to eliminate any surprises;-)
Win will have to install its new driver when it sees a new device. It may ask you to reboot when that is done. Once everything is back to normal, then you can tweak you BIOS settings back the way they were.
