I'm building my first PC and did a lot of research beforehand. However, after getting the CPU, I checked Intel's compatibility tool and it says my motherboard isn't compatible with my i7-12700K processor. I have an ASRock B760M Pro RS Wifi White motherboard, and it supports 12th gen Intel, but I'm confused. If my CPU needs a 600 series motherboard, will it still work with my 700 series one? I have until Thursday to return it if it's not compatible, so please help!

It’ll work just fine with your B760M motherboard. Just a quick tip: remember to update your BIOS to avoid any issues with your CPU!
12th gen doesn’t have the same microcode issues as the later generations, but it’s always good to update!
I’m not sure how to update the BIOS. Should I do that after I build my PC? Is it like a software upgrade?
