Just be aware before you update your bios, this can happen.
Odd.
I changed quite a lot of the HW on this system in the past few months and other than Windows prompting me to re-activate my license, nothing really happened. I think that was when I completely swapped my RAM (4x8GB to 2x16GB). Changing GPUs didn’t cause Windows to freak out (as it shouldn’t) but even when I upgraded my CPU from 12th to 14th gen, I didn’t have to do anything. And that’s with a Win 11 Pro license I bought from one of those “Their prices are so low, I can’t believe their legit”-vendors. :D
In any case: Thanks everyone for the clarification. I guess something must’ve changed with this ME-update then because when I updated my MSI board’s BIOS the last time it was with a BIOS that did enable 13th gen support - and there was no separate ME-update. Also pretty sure this most recent one I grabbed wasn’t the first to support 14th gen, so maybe this has something to do with that new APO-function Intel just introduced for 14th gen?
Not sure… but updating ME first (using the files from MSI’s support page) then flashing the BIOS worked fine for me.
