I'm looking to upgrade my Ender 3 Max Neo.

It has Marlin 2.0.8.3-HW-V4.2.2-SW-V1.4.7G firmware which I am unable to flash over to other versions of Marlin for some reason, it just crashes.

My board is a 4.2.2. Obviously as indicated by the note above.

I don't mind changing the board out but I'm having a hard time finding any information on the 3 Max Neo and would rather not buy parts just to end up finding out that it's not going to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

On the old ender 3 you could put 90 degree brackets in the corner of the tower to stabilize it, which made big difference in reducing ringing, at least for the bottom 50mm or so.

But your version looks like you can't do that as they've widened the tower and stuck the uprights on the outside of the H frame. So I guess my advice is to find some way to stabilize the tower mechanically. Something like these angled rods maybe:
