 Topic: Z77 Extreme4 under W10Posted: 09 Aug 2019 at 11:42am |

Is someone still running an Z77 Extreme4 with W10?
It wonders me that some drivers & software are not available for W10 that were available under W7, especially the Broadcom Networkdriver & Intel USB driver that I had to install for W7. Do the Intel USB Ports & the LAN Port still work despite having no drivers? |

As the hardware changes so does the driver availability. This is controlled by the manufacturers and Microsoft. If MS were to support all the old drivers etc. the OS download would be huge.

The USB and Ethernet drivers should be included in Win10. Be careful as to which version of Win 10 you install as the older ones work well on older hardware but the newer (like v1903 may have issues.

Well is there room for me to choose? I thought updates are now forced and at best I can delay a new version but not forever.

Well I cant't be 100% sure that your Z77 Extreme4 will all work properly for you on Windows 10. But I do know that my Z77 Extreme6 works just fine with the latest versions of Windows 10 installed. I did not have to install any special drivers for Broadcom Network or Intel USB. It all just worked. Currently running Insider Fast Ring version 18956.1000 with no issues. I do install the most recent version of these driver that support our Hardware. Intel Chipset v10.1.18019.8144 Intel MEI Driver 11.0.11.1193 Intel RSTe AHCI 13.1.0.1058 But this is just a personal choice I make. peace wanna |
