Question Gigabyte H170N-WiFi (rev-1.0) CPU upgrade from I3-6100 to I7-7700K.

CPU Upgrade requires BIOS update from F2 to F20. Will there be any problems in updating BIOS? Should I take any precaution?

No problems involving the bios update. Go ahead

Thanks for quick reply.

The following web page of Gigabytes talks about F21, F22a, F22b and F22e apart from F20.

Will you throw more light on those versions, please?

The only one you need for the 7700k to run is the f20 bios

But it would be better if you updated to the latest bioses as they can do things such as improve system stability, improve security and fix flaws such as Hyper Threading issues
So I'd say update to f22e
