Hello,
I am building my father a computer with the MSI H110I PRO mobo. I have an I5-7600 on my current PC.

I've listed my questions.
Can I take out my old I5 and put it into the MSI H110I PRO mobo?
Would I have to update BIOS for the I5 to work in the MOBO?
How would I update BIOS on the MSI H110I PRO?

Sorry if my questions are really easy. I'm new to PC building. FYI, I'm planning to get an I7-7700 to replace the CPU that I'm giving to my father. Thanks very much.
 
Solution
Board needs an updated bios to run a 7th gen cpu if you order the board now it's still a crap shoot if you'll get one with the required bios version. Updating the bios on that board would require a compatible 6th gen cpu.


Dang, that's quite unfortunate. I don't know anyone who has a skylake cpu. Thanks, I will consider either going Skylake or picking a new mobo altogether.
