    Motherboard Drivers on a new Windows 10 Installation


    Hi all,

    Have been struggling a bit with getting an error free clean install. Going to be trying again tonight.......

    One thing I am not 100% sure of on the MOTHERBOARD drivers - can I get away by just installing the current Intel Chipset Driver? My Device Manager shows no issues after installing just this driver. I presume that Windows 10 is installing all the other necessary drivers. Motherboard is a Asus ROG Hero Maximus VI.

    Just want to make sure that I am not missing something important that might affect the PC's performance.

    Thanks!

    :)

    OK, if you use your current HDD with Windows 10 installed on it on the new motherboard, Windows will load some of the new drivers required for the new motherboard when it starts up. You will have to install any other drivers that are required for the new
    motherboard.

    You do not need to uninstall drivers, they will not be loaded by Windows if not required on the new motherboard

    Yes, you will have to purchase Windows 10 for your new motherboard. Make sure you activate it, then when you get your new M2 SSD, you can clean install Windows 10 onto that and it will activate automatically on the new M2 SSD as your new motherboard will
    have a digital entitlement stored on the Microsoft servers

    I did check here first (ASUS website) but on trying to install the IME driver that I pulled of the ASUS website (your link above), it came up with a message that the IME driver that I was trying to install was older than the one already on the system. That got me confused... so I opted to leave the one that Windows installed automatically.

    Understands, that's why you should only install newer drivers from the ASUS downloads.
