You have to have a compatible 1st-gen Ryzen CPU. You can request a loaner CPU from AMD. https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/2Gen-Ryzen-AM4-System-Bootup.aspx

Yes you can use your 1400X.

I'm sure there are much better tutorials, but I'm on my mobile and here's a rundown.

Some motherboards have love bios update features built in. Or you can download the bios update from the manufacturer website (Asus) and unzip it and put it on a flash drive and boot to bios and then select the option to update and select the update file from your flash drive.
