Before I go and update the BIOS on my brand new x470 Pro Carbon Motherboard, (which I've never done before, but have seen many videos on) I just want to clear something up that they never mention; when putting the new update on the blank FAT32 USB, do I place the whole folder? or what's in the folder? obviously it needs to be the un-zipped folder, but i just want to make sure before I go ruining something.
The reason i'm updating is so it can support the Ryzen 7 2700 i'm going to put in there, I bought a separate Ryzen 5 that doesn't need the update to use while I install the update. is it actually necessary to use the older CPU for flashing? or is the CPU not even used until i've finished flashing
makes no difference either way, the Ryzen 5 will be given to a friend afterwards, assuming the Ryzen 7 works after the flash

If you just extract the folder that you downloaded from the site and use the built in flash tool, it is likely you can't even select the non bios file. my x570 board was probably the most painless bios flash i have ever done (of my limited experiences, for some reason they stop releasing bios's for other boards I have bought in the past XD)

there should be no folders on the usb. It should just be the bios file (usually a bin) and nothing else.

when I open the update folder in File manager, it shows 2 files, a Text document and a "290 File" do i place both in the USB and leave the folder they're in out?
the text document's contents are as follows:
