Well, you won't need a slot for Wifi or NVMe on a new board (provided you get one
with Wifi included). You also won't find a new board with old PCI slots unless you
go for a workstation/server board.

If you are using the system for office/photo work etc then I would recommend an
intel platform. AMD has the crown right now for gaming but they run hotter and
use more power under lower loads. For work use the intel platform should be perfect
for you.

Depending on your budget you can go for quite a few different options. Basically
any board that has Wifi will do the trick nicely for you. Here is a good example:

You probably won't need your USB 3.0 card as the board comes with a ton of USB
ports, including USB C. It comes with Wifi so you won't need that either. The
integrated graphics on a modern CPU will probably also perform well enough for
your design work too so you could even potentially skip the HD 5800 GPU. The
only issue you will have is your Firewire card, as I said before consumer boards
no longer have old PCI slots. You may need to look for a PCIe Firewire card if
that is essential to your workflow/hardware.

You will be able to connect your NVMe drive directly to the motherboard as well
as use it as a boot drive.

As for CPU you can go for whatever fits your budget from the CPU support list:

Just avoid any CPU model that ends in an "F" if you plan to use the integrated
graphics (which I would recommend as it comes with hardware encoding that could
potentially speed up your video renders more than the HD 5800 series GPU).

I wouldn't waste money on a Z890 board, for your needs the B860 chipset should
be more than adequate and save you a bit of money. Basically any B860 board
that comes with wifi paired with an intel "Core Ultra" CPU should be perfect
for you.

I would need a lot more info to make a recommendation. What platform, budget and
what will the system be used for? Do you need PCIe x16 slots or do you just mean
5 PCIe slots including the x1 slots? A board with 5 PCIe x16 (size not wired) will
be expensive and if you are looking for 5 PCIe x16 slots that are wired as x16 then
you will be looking at a lot more as well as a very expensive HEDT or server CPU.

Because of NVMe M.2 slots most newer boards have 4 or less PCIe slots, typically
2 PCIe x16 size slots and 2 x1 slots.

Here is an example of a newer board with 5 PCIe slots:
https://pg.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z690%20Phantom%20Gaming%204/index.asp

You will be looking at higher end boards as the lower spec boards have fewer PCIe
lanes to allocate. With the cost of RAM right now you may want to wait a while
longer for prices to normalize.

I switched to Windows 10 LTSC because I wasn?™t able to sign up for Windows updates last September

The BIOS is the latest version released by ASRock :



Is there an email address where I can ask Microsoft this question ?

thanks well

hello.

Asrock Support replied:

Hello, have to say sorry.

This mainboard is EoS (End of support) since many years.
We are not able to provide a specific BIOS with newer Secure Boot keys.

Anyway, as far we know, Microsoft will reales them by Windows updates as well.

See or FAQ, Methode1: https://www.asrock.com/support/faq.asp?id=551 You might contact Microsoft as well if and when they plan it for WIN10 and your hardware. Method 2 is not available ??see abobve

What should I do then?
