CPU Upgrade

Hey guys need some advice.

I've just purchased a 5600X, is it a simple BIOS update on my B550 Tomahawk and away it goes?

Also can I still use my existing 3600 CPU once the BIOS has been updated whilst I await delivery?

Yeah the latest bios supports both 3000 and 5000 on B550.

Perfect, just heading over to the MSI website to download the latest BIOS now and updating it later.
