Hi everyone, If i created this topic to wrong category sorry for that. Im playing a online compatitive game and Input lag and Response time is better on Windows 7. I also bought Asrock Z490M Pro4 + Intel i7 10700F + RTX 2060. I installed Windows 7 but when i wanted to install Ethernet LAN driver for Windows 7, some errors appeared on Windows 7 ' This driver only works for Windows 10 ' So do i have any another solution for that? Have a nice day. |

Lots of searching should find a solution. In my mind it is not worth the trouble to find and implement the solution. ------------- Asrock Z370 Gaming K6,Intel i7 8700K, Asrock x570 Taichi |

This is all I could find, if you have already found these then your only option is to buy and install a dedicated LAN card that is compatible with windows 7 or just install and use Windows 10. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/18713/Ethernet-Intel-Network-Adapter-Driver-for-Windows-7-Final-Release" rel="nofollow - https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/18713/Ethernet-Intel-Network-Adapter-Driver-for-Windows-7-Final-Release -------------

I already tried that driver and it didnt recognize any ethernet drivers. I will use your idea with different way, seems ill get USB to Ethernet converter. Thanks for help, will see what will happen. |

If latency is the only reason you are using windows 7 then get a LAN AIB (add in board). A USB LAN adapter will add latency and basically completely negate the point of using windows 7. A gigabit PCIe x1 LAN card shouldn't be expensive and you should have plenty of free slots to install one. Just be sure it is supported under windows 7. -------------
