Thank you. I know this is really "out there" but what if I used MMTool to delete the existing Summit-PI 1.0.0.7 module from current GL702ZC BIOS ROM file and replace it with a new Pinnacle-PI module extracted from a BIOS ROM intended for a desktop B350 board? I understand it would be a really high-risk thing to try and flashing it could brick the mobo if it fails to work as desired but I'm still curious enough to hear your thoughts on the matter. Second question, am I correct to assume that the newer Pinnacle-PI AGESA is backwards compatible with the original Ryzen CPU's?

As we know, running Ryzen 2 CPU's on existing 300-series motherboards will be possible, but only if supported with an updated BIOS. I own a Ryzen-based laptop, the Asus GL702ZC with the Ryzen 7 1700 CPU, operating on the B350 chipset. Since laptop manufacturers don't support their products after launch, it's safe to assume that Asus will release no further BIOS updates for this model, so here's the question: How to find out if the (recently updated) BIOS I'm already running is capable of supporting a Ryzen 7 2700 CPU without having to actually buy the chip and "try it." Is there anything I can look for in terms of feature-level that will help find the answer? For instance, I read somewhere that AGESA version 1.0.0.7 is the requirement to support "future CPU's" and the most recent BIOS update includes AGESA 1.0.0.7. Do I have a shot at running Ryzen 2 with the current BIOS?
