You're considering the MPG Z490 GAMING PLUS motherboard and wondering if your i7 10700F CPU is compatible with the default BIOS. The MSI site indicates the first BIOS version for this board was released in 2020, and it lists your CPU as supported. However, you're unsure if the default BIOS version matches what comes with the board. It's possible the motherboard includes an older BIOS. You might need to access the BIOS settings to check for updates or compatibility with your CPU model.

It's unclear if Z490 BIOS versions support the 10th generation, but most are outdated now. New boards should handle 10th gen. If you try it, request the BIOS version to confirm.

Certain boards allow BIOS flashing through USB. If it does, you're in the clear—but you'll need to get the BIOS update from another device. It should be straightforward: insert a USB flash drive into the dedicated USB BIOS slot, power on while pressing the BIOS FLASH button.
