   Can you use Vista with this board. I seen not a single driver listed as vista. I just want to use vista to temp install legit windows so I can then install windows 10. But I can't get lan working to do updates to even get that far.

Any ideas.

	There does not appear to be any drivers for the LAN for vista, even on intel's site. This is not an ASRock issue because intel do not have Vista support for this platform. Vista seems to no longer be supported by intel on their newer platforms. The only thing I can suggest is a cheap PCIE/PCI LAN card that will allow you to update. Vista however is not eligible for a free windows 10 upgrade, the upgrade is only free from windows 7 and 8/8.1.
