Caution! The board has no bios flash button, so blind flash is not possible. And without updating the bios, nothing works with many processors, even Windows 11 cannot be installed. Fortunately, I had another AMD processor at hand, with which I was able to update.

The "bios flash button" is a feature that is only built into somewhat higher-priced boards. The price difference has to come from somewhere. There are only a handful of boards with the A520 chipset that even offer this.

Answer

It's not a question, but yes, that's true. You have to get into the bios at least, but if the processor is still not compatible, you won't get very far.
Therefore, yes caution with the processor choice or have an older one ready.
Otherwise, actually a good product for the price.
