Anyone know if MicroCenter will upgrade my motherboards BIOS?

Would MicroCenter could upgrade my motherboards BIOS to support kabylake processors for me? I am willing to pay.

I understand your hesitation to try doing it yourself it can be intimidating. The process has gotten better compared to how it was years ago. If Microcenter will do it probably depends on your local MicroCenter service dept manager. I'm taking it for granted you purchased the motherboard from them not to long ago. I'd go down and see if you can talk to some one in the service dept about doing that for you. They may request you just bring in the motherboard. They may not want to take the risk of turning your motherboard in to a paperweight and refuse.

Not to be a smart ass, but just call your local store and ask the service department. My guess is they will, but probably charge about $50 if i had to guess. Or you can just google how to do it and save yourself the money $. I've updated a bios before and I am not even close to an expert.

Why not call the store directly?
If your motherboard can boot now, upgrading BIOS is no longer rocket science!

Long term MicroCenter customer here. Based on my experience with their customer service/tech support, you'd be better off doing it yourself. It's not a hard process. I got a taste of their support ineptitude last year when returning a bad monitor and the rep couldn't even tell the difference between HDMI and Display Port in a plug. I wouldn't want those guys working on my hardware.
