It depends on identifying the specific board you're using to check the release notes for each BIOS. That information will clarify any prerequisites for each version. *edit* Your signature refers to the correct board, and none of these updates suggest they need a newer release. https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MAG-Z790...pport#bios
You're asking if updating to the latest H7 will retain the features from H6. Let me clarify that for you.
Some motherboards with numerous BIOS updates can require earlier BIOS versions before newer ones are needed. This issue often arises with Gigabyte products. For example, if 20 BIOSes were released and the board needs version 7 (or later) to be functional, flashing 15 and 15 (or newer) becomes necessary before proceeding to 16, 17 or newer. If you buy the board with version 3, you’d have to go through 7, 15, then 20. With a version 14 board, you’d need 15 followed by 20, and with a version 15 board, simply flash 20. Always check the BIOS release notes on the motherboard’s official website for detailed guidance.
