New Member AMD Motherboard Thread

I have created a thread for you here.

Welcome to the forums PO_Customer, I have made a thread for you here.

Hello and welcome to the forums Minger. I have made a thread for your question here.

I'm new to AMD Motherboards, but have been working with and on computers for decades.

I recently acquired a used PC with a Fatal1ty X370 Gaming X motherboard and a Ryzen 7 1700X (Summit Ridge) CPU. It came with an OEM version of Windows 11 Pro installed. I'm looking for tips and suggestions on upgrading the CPU.

Since the 1700X is not compliant with Windows 11, I'm planning to upgrade to a Ryzen 7 5700G (Cezanne) CPU. I've been doing my research here and elsewhere online and have found the following:

- UEFI Lists the BIOS version for current 1700X CPU as P5.20
- https://www.asrock.com/support/cpu.asp?s=AM4&u=664 shows a supported BIOS of 7.30 for the 5700G
- https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/Fatal1ty%20X370%20Gaming%20X/index.asp#BIOS states 7.30 requires you to update to 7.00 first, but does not seem to indicate a need to update to any BIOS version between 5.20 and 7.00 first. It also lists a more recent 10.50 version which seems to have secure boot features Windows 11 might want.

Based on other users reports on similar upgrades, my plan is to upgrade the BIOS to 7.00 first and test everything. If all goes well, upgrade to 7.30 and test. If all goes well and the Windows 11 PC Health Check shows me as fully compliant with Windows 11 Pro, I'll probably stop there.

Does this sound like a solid plan? Any pitfalls I should be aware of? Should I consider going on to 10.50?

Thanks in advance for any tips or feedback
