Hey everyone!
Which processor would work with this board to enable Windows 11 Pro installation? I'm considering an APU over a regular CPU, and I don't want to spend on a GPU.
Thanks

Some of these four options, including the G-series with an integrated iGPU (APU), should function adequately.

All Ryzen 2000 series, including Zen2 and newer, work well with Windows 11. Graphics-enabled models with the G suffix feature an integrated IGPU and display output from MB. Given the limited VRM on those MBs, the R7 5700G is recommended. Graphics performance remains average at GTX 1030 or Rx 550 levels.

For cooling solutions, maintaining a kit for AM4 and AM5 should suffice. If not, alternatives like Noctua are available.

Ps. Updating BIOS to the latest version is necessary before using any Ryzen model older than the first generation.

Varies by price range. 2400g needs no bios update, but the board might ship with newer versions. 3400g and above require a bios update. 4300g, 4600g, 5700g also need an update.

For this second system, since your board differs from the one listed, you'll require a compatible CPU and possibly a graphics card to upgrade the BIOS to a newer APU. The APUs in question are a generation behind, so a minimum of 3200g is necessary. A 5600g or 5700g would be advisable.
