Windows 10 driver advice

[fenderjaguar]

I own a P8P67 M Pro motherboard and I have windows 10 installed.

If I go to the Asus website, my boards sub section, there are no drivers for windows 10, they only go up to windows 8.1.

Now, I have to say, I don't really have any problems. And windows 10 seems to have all the drivers (of some form of another) installed.

I also installed generic intel chipset drivers and the generic intel rapid storage tech driver (I'm using raid 0 with 2 x SSD just at the moment).

I would just like to ask, to those who may know more than I, if there would be any better proceedure than this? ie, should I install the windows 8.1 drivers from the asus site etc?

Okay, then the numerous articles about the lack of Sandy Bridge support need to be taken down.

Bad-Motha, I do this stuff for a living too. Now, this is territory that I don't indulge in heavily, but my statement was based on the findings in my short time of research. No need to belittle.

As I understand it, that was more about the integrated graphics? And that's a fair point.

But my board doesn't even have the ability to use the HD graphics that's in my 2600k. I have to use a GPU through the pci-e port just to display anything on a monitor.

Ok fair enough. Yea alot of inaccurate info going around I suppose.
Didn't mean to jump on you or anything, just pointing out that such a board/chipset would be fine under Win10. But yea as long as you're not solely using Intel GPU, then you should be fine.

It's all good. No hard feelings.

Ah, if I understand correctly, the only drawback to P67 would be integrated graphics? That makes sense.

If there are no other real compatibility issues, then it makes me wonder why Microsoft left Sandy Bridge off supported CPU list... Because of the lack of integrated graphics? Maybe.

Interesting stuff.

Well it was nice to have a differing opinion in the thread anway, bill. Thanks

Thanks also to bad motha and the other poster.

I think there is some life left in this board. I have a 5 years old CPU which is still relevant. I'm starting to know this board/bios like the back of my hand. I overclock, I use raid 0 through the intel sata III ports, HDD through the marvell port (don't suppose I could find a driver for that controller could I?), I can upgrade to 32GB RAM and can upgrade the GPU to something much better.

It's been a real solid bedrock to work from
