Should be possible to just upgrade the CPU without changing anything in the bios. It is the same generation of CPU

 

Well....technically the Ryzen 3200G is on Zen+ architecture, while the non-APU Ryzen 3600 is Zen2.

 

@Algit

A520 chipset motherboard should support the Ryzen 3600 out of the box.

That said, if your motherboard BIOS firmware is old (e.g. more than a couple revisions old), might be worthwhile to update that too.
