I have two questions, First, Does my motherboard support a Ryzen 3 3100 my mobo is MSI A320M PRO-E, for now my CPU is AMD A8-9600 I have a graphics card, and currently, my BIOS version is E7A36AMS.H00. My other question is, If I need a BIOS update, will the latest version of my mobo's BIOS still support AMD A8-9600? or they dropped it, the BIOS version is 7A36vI1. And finally does this version of BIOS support AMD Ryzen 3 3100? this 7A36vI1 one.
Sorry my english kinda sucks.

According to the MSI CPU compatibility list your MB supports the Ryzen 3 3100 (Matisse) with BIOS version 7A36vH4 - 7A36vH4.zip (msi.com) or newer.
And the 2 newer BIOS versions don't say they remove support for your AMD A8-9600 (Bristol Ridge).
CPU list - MSI Global
So you should be fine updating to the newest BIOS (7A36vI1) and then installing the 3100.
