The BIOS doesn't need updating just because you're using a new motherboard like the MSI Mag Z390 Tomahawk. Make sure your system meets the minimum requirements, but updating the BIOS isn't typically necessary unless there are specific compatibility issues.

It varies based on the processor you have. If you're using a model that comes with the standard support, it's fine. But certain boards only work with specific CPUs after updating the BIOS (for example, B450 boards need a BIOS upgrade for 3rd gen Ryzen). To switch to a newer CPU, you'll need a board with flashable BIOS or an older, compatible CPU first. If your CPU is officially approved, you shouldn't have any issues.

Based on what you're observing, everything should work fine right now. The system is built-in and doesn't require any BIOS updates unless you specifically need them.
