M.2 and (possibly) BIOS issue...a quick question

So I recently decided I wanted to install a slightly bigger m.2 drive, a 500GB WD Blue. I installed the new drive and my PC refuses to boot and can't enter the BIOS either (it hangs on the Gigabyte boot screen).

My old m.2 seems to work fine so I'm thinking maybe it's a BIOS issue and I need to update it to get this new drive working. Current BIOS version is F32. I think I would need to update to F40, then to F41 (which should improve m.2 ssd support based on the BIOS version descriptions

My question is...if F40 adds support for Ryzen 3rd Gen, will that then drop support for 2nd gen Ryzen?

Spec: 
Gigabyte B450 DS3H (BIOS version F32).
Ryzen 5 2600
RTX 2060

Any help is massively appreciated!

Went for it. Thankfully the BIOS update is what I needed to get the ssd working too!

 

Thanks for the reply. Had a feeling that was the case but figured it might be safer to check prior.
