Ethernet Drivers

[Scrubby]

Hello, everyone!

 

I am upgrading my system soon and my motherboard (Z370 GIGABYTE AORUS GAMING 3) uses Killer Lan Driver for Ethernet, but the motherboard I am upgrading to (Z690 GIGABYTE GAMING X DDR4) uses Realtek Lan Driver.

My question is what will happen when I boot my PC will I have internet or I have to uninstall Killer Lan and download Realtek Lan?

You'll probably be able to get default drivers to work regardless. and that'll be enough to get you to a proper driver download.

Might be a good idea to uninstall any drivers you don't need before migrating though.

Normally Windows will use a built in driver and will then be able to update it automatically.

 

Good idea to download the drivers for the board prior to switching though so you have them on hand to install, both to make sure you're on the latest version and in case things like the network driver don't automatically work.

if you do not have drivers upon bootup, you may simply plug your phone into the computer with a usb cable and do usb tethering.
