Ok so I have an AB350 Pro4 motherboard. It currently has my Ryzen 7 1700x cpu on it and I want to first update the Bios on it. its at 3.0 currently.. I first want to know what I can update the bios to with current CPU (I'm hoping to resolve a Windows update issue where it cant complete the update and undoes everything.) Then, I need to know what I should do to prep it for a Ryzen 7 5700x3d. I need to know the steps, too, like do i update to a bridge bios in between? do I need to boot to windows to verify its working before continuing on? at what point do i actually switch out the CPU? I want to do this right the first time

Based on the info on the BIOS support page:
3.00 -> 3.40 -> 5.40 -> 7.00 -> 10.31
And then swap to 5700X3D.

No need to boot into Windows each time.
