After much faffing around today, (I'm not software savvy but can build a PC) I've finally managed to get my computer to boot in uefi and enabled tpm 2.0 on my MSI X570 tomahawk wifi. All I needed to do was change my OS drive to GPT but isn't as simple as just changing it in disk management but through command prompt. reason is to move to windows 11. I've managed to do this all on the original bios. (I thought I'd need to update it to do the above).
Before moving to windows 11 do you think I should update it or just leave it? I've never had any problems and the old adage, don't fix it if it ain't broke, seems to have been common in the past when updating the BIOS. Which makes me a bit insecure about doing this.
 
Bios updates will include newer Agesa versions and if you might be changing your CPU at a later date will need a newer bios that supports it.
 
I wouldn’t personally unless I was experiencing a problem that a BIOS update was likely to resolve. As you said, if it ain't broke…
 
So basically don't bother unless I'm upgrading the CPU. I have thought about an x3d upgrade at some point. Not sure how much longer the 5700x3d is going to be on sale for.
