I use the board with a Ryzen 5 5600G. My board already had a BIOS when it was delivered, which caused no problems (no update was necessary). So I am very confident that the board can also handle the 5600 and the 5600X.

It does

I have just looked this up, which is somewhat hidden. According to information from MSI in the following PDF, an Intel Wireless-AC 3168 is installed. https://storage-asset.msi.com/datasheet/mb/de/B550M-PRO-VDH-WIFI.pdf According to Intel's information, a 2.4GHz and 5GHz band is covered and thus complies with the 802.11ac standard. WiFi6 has the specification 802.11ax and therefore your question must unfortunately be answered with a "no".

Ja, das Board hat 2 M.2 Slots. https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/B550M-PRO-VDH-WIFI/Specification

yes of course it even has two M2.2280 slots...

Yes, but you either have to install a different CPU and update the BIOS first, or you have to flash the BIOS via USB. Before this is done, the PC will not "post". If flashing is done via USB: Format the USB to FAT32 and delete the name from the USB. (This also deletes all data on it, important!!!). Download the latest BIOS version from MSI. Open the BIOS folder (there should be 2 files, the .txt can be ignored) and copy the large file into the USB. Change the file name to msi.rom. Insert the USB stick at the back of the I/O shield in the second row from the top, on the left. Press the flash button. (I/O shield at the top left) Then a red light should flash inside the PC where the stick is plugged in. Do this for a few minutes, then the PC will restart and everything should work.
