Aurora R10, upgrade to Ryzen 7 5700X3D

From the hours of digging I have done my R10 motherboard, NWN7M, only supports 3k series AMD CPUs. First, is there ANY way to get a 5k series to work, sneaky installations, etc, or am I just <Profanity is not allowed. DELL-Admin>?

Second, the only other motherboard they made for the R10 is the TYR0X which supports the 5k series. However, every list I have seen online for R10 OEM CPU compatibility does not include the 5***X3D chips because they weren't out 2-5 years ago. So my second question is: if I swap the motherboard out for the TYR0X will my 5700X3D work? And how could I transfer my Windows license?

If not, I think I'm done with Alienware when I build my next PC.

If you have the first generation only 3000 series will work, and there's no way to get a 5000 series to work.

Windows licenses are OEM and embedded in the BIOS, not transferable between systems.

5700X3D is not on the list of supported CPU's. I doubt it will work.

5700X3D is last gen... Get yourself a new motherboard from MSI, Asus, etc that supports the newer 9000 series Ryzen from AMD.
