Guys,
Any help is much appreciated, as I have hit a roadblock. I am pretty confident when it comes to building a PC (I have done it 4 times now, my own and a couple friends), but I am not that confident on the software/BIOS end. Below is hopefully good enough information for someone to help me take the next step and get this all working. Thank you to anyone who takes a look at this.
I am trying to update my BIOS for my motherboard, as I read in this article that I could update a B350 motherboard from the 1000 series to the 5000 series CPU (basically going from a 2017 PC to a 2022 PC).
That said, I am having trouble updating my BIOS for this. My problem now is that when I try to update my BIOS, it says invalid image or something like that. Here is the BIOS section for my motherboard. I am currently still running F8, but was trying to update it to F52m or F52h, but neither are working. I was reading and saw I should update to F31 before updating to F40 before updating to F52m or F52h. This is all confusing to me, but in the end, I wasn't able to get it to work, as it wouldn't update to any of the above builds.
Here is what I am trying to get my PC to be (all upgraded parts are already bought and at my house)...
