[SOLVED] Upgrading parts

[sootngiz]

I recently purchased a Ryzen 5 2600 for my current PC.
I currently have an AMD A10-9700 processor and a MSI a320m pro vd/2 motherboard.
I'm aware that my current specs aren't that good, I just wanted to upgrade my PC to make it better.
I purchased this PC in December 2018.
I've been asking lots of people on multiple forums and discord servers if I should upgrade my bios or not and I'm at a rate of 50/50.
I'm making this thread because I want to make 100% sure on what I have to do since I don't want to break/damage anything.
I want to replace my current CPU with the R5 2600.
Pictures below.

Your mobo supports the Ryzen 2600 on BIOS version 2A or better

2C came a month after 2A, so you don't NEED to do a BIOS update for the machine to function.

THAT BEING SAID - Have a look at the BIOS versions and what's been improved on each successive version. Namely AGESA code updates. I'd personally go ahead and update to BIOS version 2H.

Thank you for your reply, are you 100% sure that I don't need a bios update? I just want to know incase I damage my PC in some way. I tried updating my bios to version 7A36v2H today and yesterday. I downloaded the rar file, extracted it and put the files on my usb and it doesn't show up in the M-Flash. I sent a screenshot of the M-Flash earlier and that's what it looks like.

Not sure how I can provide any more proof than the links I supplied earlier....
You're not going to DAMAGE your computer by having the wrong BIOS version. It'll either boot or it wont.

Did you follow the BIOS update instructions?

My bios is different to that, I'll have a read of it assuming it's the same method tomorrow.

Yeah, that's screenshots of a Z97 board (as shown), but the process is the same. I took the link right off the BIOS site for your mobo.
