A friend upgraded his PC and gave me an i5 4590 that he didn't need.
I want to buy this motherboard to support it but I'm unsure of what bios it will come with. If its outdated will I be able to update it using the CPU anyway?
This is the motherboard I'm buying

Looking at this list I require the P1.60 bios.

What will happen if the motherboard arrives with an older bios? Will it just not boot? Or allow me to update it?
BTW I'm limited to this particular motherboard as I cannot find any other ITX lga 1150 motherboards that arent on ebay second hand.
