Solid motherboard.

Great choice for a motherboard, it DOES support 14th gen intel CPUs - you just need to update the BIOS to the latest version, real easy.

Link to BIOS - https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z790-GAMING-WIFI/support
Followed these instructions - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTkXunUAriE

You need a USB capable of FAT32 format, I had to use a USB2.0 thumb drive, but worked great, running my i7 14700k nicely.

Good board for an old gamer on a budget.

Awesome mother board. No problems once it is working. I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure we used to get the full manual. Sadly mine seemed to be missing and I had to figure most of it myself. Like the top pcie doesn't work. I found it is common issue with the board, but the tech gods saw fit to add extras. But interms of functionality. It works perfectly.
