[SOLVED] I want to upgrade my CPU. Do I have to update a specific BIOS version for that specific CPU?

[itisnutella]

Motherboard: MSI B350M Mortar
Current CPU: Ryzen 5 1400 (want to upgrade to Ryzen 5 2600)
Latest BIOS version from the manufacturer's web: 7A37v1MR(Beta version)
CPU BIOS version: 7A37v1E

I have read many forums stating that I have to update my BIOS in order to install new CPU. However, I'm not sure whether I have to update to the latest BIOS version from the manufacturer's web, or only update that specific CPU BIOS version?

ps: I have updated to the latest bios using my current cpu.

The 1400 requires 7A37v11.zip minimum.

The 2600 requires

7A37v1E.zip minimum. So if you are running 1E or later you are good to go.

Need at least first version with AGESA 1004.
