Windows 10: Chipset

Shall I download the chipset(Intel INF Installation) off my motherboard's (GA-H81M-DS2V) manufacturer's (GIGABYTE) website, or off Intel? Thanks.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

Now that Windows 10 is successfully installed on the computer, ensure to install any pending updates and also update all device drivers from Device Manager. Once this is done restart the computer to check if this helps. You may also visit the
computer manufacturer’s website to get the latest drivers for your computer model.

Keep us informed to help you further.

I was doing everything but not use...! all my graphic card driver showing me error..! even my intel driver also not install this time..! I am so upset tell me how to fix it..!

 

So no... explanation for that? Just the straight up answer? That's new.

 

Well.,. the chipset is connected to the MB and since it's a Gigabyte they would have the correct chipset for that MB.

 

So what's the Intel chipset then? Just a newer version? I thought newer was better

 

Intel makes a generic chipset driver for the specific chipset.

The Board manufacturer will take and enhance the drivers specific to the particular board.

You can install the intel one if you want, and the board supports it, you may feel like you are upgrading it to it's latest drivers, but find you may lose some functionality/optimization that comes from the manufacturer's version.

If you really must have a definitive answer, query the Board manufacturer as to a comparison, they'll tell you which may function better, but I'd stick to gigabyte's as well, unless they say otherwise (such as they no longer push out updates for that chipset, etc.)

 

Alternatively, don't bother with either. They don't do anything useful, they are not drivers

 

Uninstall yours then report back ...
