So here’s my question. I’m upgrading my OOOLD setup… Or not upgrading, but building a new one.

My motherboard, the MSI Pro z790-A WiFi, AFAIK will require a BIOS upgrade to use the 14th gen processor. How?

Will it still boot into BIOS even with a 14th gen CPU, or will I absolutely have to use the BIOS flash button on the back?
