asus Z170-p Bios Update with 7th gen installed?

[VerygeneriK]

Ok, So I am building a completely new system and i bought an asus z170-p motherboard and a i5 7600K kaby lake processor. After the fact I realised that you needed to preform a bios update to use the new 7th gen kaby lake processors. I dont have another pc to install the bios onto the motherboard. Can I build the pc with the 7th gen cpu and then do the bios update via usb extrenal drive or am I screwed?

You can order a BIOS chip on ebay and replace the board's one, or return the board and buy instead a Z270 one.

Yeah I think I'll just return it and buy another one. Thanks for the suggestion though
