Hello, I installed Windows 7 on this mainboard and video and Lan drivers automatically have been installed by OS. Later I download ALC888 HD audio driver from support on Realtek, but i cannot find HDMR driver and driver for external DVI-card, but she's works normally. Whether will work good this mainboard under Windows 7, or may something to be damaged? |

If it is working fine then you have nothing to worry about. Many older drivers are included with windows once they stop receiving manufacturer support. The OS will never damage your system due to lack of drivers. -------------

Yes, the machine works good, but why these drivers is not available on support center of ASRock, because in the specifications Windows 7 is not supported? But latest drivers are uplouded in the same time when Windows 7 has been released. |

If the board is older it is likely that windows 7 support was simply never added. The fact that windows 7 installed and is running without issue means that it was likely not necessary for ASRock to provide drivers. When manufacturers provide OS support this support needs to come from the individual chip vendors used on the product. If the chip vendor does not support an OS then the manufacturer cannot provide support. So, for example, on an intel board, if intel does not provide LAN drivers for a particular OS then the manufacturer cannot provide support for that product with that OS. This is often the determining factor when it comes to OS support on older hardware. If at the time of the OS release there are no supporting drivers for a particular motherboard then support cannot be added. -------------

Most important drivers (VGA, Lan) automatically was installed with Windows 7, this mean that Intel & Realtek are released these drivers, but why they are not added into Asrock support? But these drivers into Support center are older and they must to be updated, also they cannot to be installed on Windows 7, if they are not run in compatible mode. |
