So i just bought this mobo from amazon warehouse deals off of amazon. it is used like new and amazon warehouse deals is like partnered with amazon. And i currently have a g4600 which is a kaby lake processor. and if the motherboard does come without kaby lake installed am i fucked or is there anything i can do besides returning it? like updating it with a jumper or flash drive.

Unless things have changed which I doubt you would need a supported CPU to install on there first before you can update the bios to support a new type of chip in this case Kaby Lake. As to if this one supports it, I don't know off hand check the official website and search for documentation stating whether it does or doesn't. And other option is seeing if you can take it down to a computer repair place and seeing if they can run the update for you but realistically returning it and buying the appropriate motherboard that does support it would most likely be quicker, cheaper and less of a hassle.
