Drivers Required for B75M-DGS Build

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm building a system using a B75M-DGS MB salvaged from my son's old computer.   The original driver DVD that came with the MB is lost.  I'm building using an OEM Win8.1 operating system purchased from a local computer dealer.  I've checked the support download page for the MB, and there are alot of download files.   Do I need all the files?  Is there any particular order for running them?
As you can guess I'm a novice builder but enjoy tinkering with systems.  I build several systems back in the W98 days, but haven't built a system from scratch in 10+ years.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

	You will want everything except the "SATA Floppy Image", "Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver" and "Intel Smart Connect driver" from your product download page for win 8.1. The rapid storage driver is optional but not essential and I generally install it after the system is up and running.

	Xalter, Thanks for the response. I've downloaded and installed the recommended drivers. The system is now up and running. Thanks again.
