Windows 10: Motherboard has no Win 10 drivers. Clean install still possible

I have never been a fan of upgrades. Now I am noT having any issues with the upgrade I did but I still would like to do a clean install.

Since my motherboard it 2 yrs old the manufacture feels it's too old to give it Win 10 drivers. I can assume that there will be no way for me to do a clean install unless the motherboard manufacture puts out Win 10 drivers.

This is my motherboard http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z77%2...load&os=Win764

Is there any chance of me doing a clean install?

Windows 10 and Asus problems

Asus does a good job keeping drivers available for their systems, or at least the motherboards. Perhaps you got a bad driver and it is causing problems.

Did the system come with Win 10 originally?

If you installed Windows, was it a clean Win 10 install using Install media?

 

My Computer and its Blue Screens

My computer is having trouble with updates mostly with windows 10 install windows 7 also an issue intermittently without updates with updates I get constant crash screens I am using Asus A55bm e with the amd 10 core processor A8 core averages around 140
to 145 Degrees F I have had messages to roll back graphic drivers to Ethernet(coms) driver however when in the driver pages there is nothing to roll back i have clean installed win 7 around 20 times formatted and have tried upgrade installed win 10 64 bit
and clean installed win 10 64 bitt about the same 20 times on both with what seemed to be success initially and then blue screen. have used the microsoft multiple fix its including aero and countless microsoft trouble shooters, I have unplugged all devices
and connected only minimum ie hard drive and dvd and am still having issues , i seem to have less issues with the motherboard cd/dvd before the updates but still get the blue screen every now and then after the updates every time i power on it shuts back down
with the blue screen. is it possible this Asus Motherboard just cant handle windows 7 through 10 64 bitt or am i overlooking something

Moved to win 10

 

Hello there,
My Dell Dimension 9200 is from 2007.
I did a clean install of the Win 10 and going well albeit few heart stopping moments. ( I was to have Win 7 Ultimate x64)
My guess is if yours is running Win 7 or above OS you should be able to install Win 10.
Some one will inform me correct....
Good luck to you

 

I am pretty sure if your system was capable of running windows 7; then yes realistically you should be able to do a install of windows 10 even if your board is a older board. Heck; my asus mb is 3 years old and asus didnt put out any drivers/software for my board for windows 10; but so far everything seems to be working like it should be. So on that note; I would just say if you want to do a clean install; give it a shot; if windows 10 installs correctly; windows itself should install the drivers needed for your hardware via either windows update; or the built-in windows catalog of drivers.

 

Ok that sounds good. I figure if I get issues I can do a clean install of Win 7 with nothing installed but the OS and drivers. Then do another upgrade and I should have a pretty stable system

 

The driver model hasn't changed since Vista, so even loading Windows 7 drivers should work just fine, even if they don't label them as being compatible with Windows 10, in 99% of cases they are.

 

Well I just did the clean install and all is good. Only driver that I had to load was my video card. AMD is nice and they do have Win 10 drivers for my 6950 card. Everything is working just fine.

Thanks everyone for the information
