Question Will the MSI A320M PRO-VH PLUS A320 AM4 Micro ATX Motherboard need a BIOS update in order to be compatible with the Ryzen 3 2200g? Will it be fully-fu

I am asking this for a friend. He is on a really tight budget. The PC store I am buying from has a really limited stock and variety of parts (they have only one B450 motherboard).

It will be fully functional with the proper BIOS version (7B07v36 or newer) installed BEFORE installing the CPU:

Does this mean that I will need to flash update the MOBO with a compatible CPU before I can use the Ryzen 3 2200g?

Yes. Maybe the PC shop can do for you, some will.

Oh 🙁
The PC store itself said that it won't need a BIOS update. I'm really confused about this.

Then it may already have a newer BIOS installed. It is certainly possible.

Oh, alright. If it has the "AMD Ryzen 2000 Desktop Ready" sticker on it, it has the BIOS installed for the Ryzen 3 2200g, right?

Probably. Sounds like you will be good to go.

Thank you so so much! My friend will be pleased to hear )
