    Are MB Makers Not Fully Supporting 7-Series Motherboards (Ivy Bridge)?


    Is there just a delay in updating drivers for 7-series boards or are manufacturers not going to fully support Ivy Bridge for Windows 10? I checked Asus and MSI websites and the 8x and 9x series boards have all the drivers updated for Windows 10, but not the 7x chipset boards.

    I have two B75 chipset (Ivy Bridge) custom built desktops currently running Windows 7. I'm hesitant to upgrade to Windows 10 because the motherboard manufactures are not providing ALL the updated drivers.

    Available drivers posted on manufacturer websites for 7x chipset MB (sporadic at best):
    Asus P8B75-M/CSM
    - Intel Chipset (but no IMEI driver)
    - On-Board Lan (Realtek)

    MSI B75MA-E33
    - On-Board Audio (Realtek)
    - On-Board Lan (Realtek)


    In the meantime, I'm curious what others experiences have been with upgrading their Ivy Bridge systems to Windows 10 without all the proper motherboard drivers.

    Are the default windows drivers sufficient?
    *SATA/AHCI - Any SSD/HDD issues?
    *IMEI - Does the system still support sleep states?
    *VIA Audio - I know VIA is dragging their feet on providing updated drivers.

    :)

    Upgrading from 4 GB to 8 GB RAM and new Graphic Card

    Thank you but I\m still not understand about this "“(“Sandy Bridge” CPUs) or up to 1,600 MHz (“Ivy Bridge” CPUs). According to ASUS, the P8Z77-V LK supports memories up
    to 2,400 MHz". Does it means my motherboard actually support up to 2,400 Mhz RAM and it's depending on my cpu supported it or not ?

    Installation failure of Windows 10 Anniversary Update in Safe_OS Phase

    Tried Grantpannel's trick, but same negative result. Contacted Intel and they said to replace GEN 2 Sandy Bridge with Gen3 Ivy Bridge CPU with no good result. The strange thing about all this is that Windows update to Win 10 went without a hitch with no
    compatability issues. Sasme for threshold update. Why then is the anniversary update not working and if questions are being raised about my MB/CPU being "not supported", why is if not supported after being saying it is fine for Windows 10 and the major update
    Threshold last fall?
