Practically almost done but need help!

[AlanChee]

I've finish up on installing the hardwares, I did not buy a Optical drive because its a waste of money and I've ran out of budget. So how do I install drivers for my motherboard. I'm using an Asrock H97M anniversary edition

Can you atleast connect to the internet?

Connect to the internet, go to website, download drivers, install drivers.

 

If you can't access on that PC, do you have another you can use? If so, download the drivers and transfer them over to said PC and install.

Download the drivers off the ASRock website, if generic drivers are not working steal an optical drive from an old computer.

Which operating system do you have installed?

 

Also, there is no such thing as "boot driver", for as far as I know.

If you have windows 10 64 bit, just click the link and download the things you need.

LPT for later, install your motherboards ethernet drivers on a USB stick for your current and upcoming builds because it can be a real hassle trying to get connected sometimes.

just download all of them except the vga, im assuming you have a video card which you can get once your ethernet is working and put them on a flash drive and install them on your new pc

Please, DO install an OS. After that, depending on which OS you installed, you can ask about drivers.

 

Most of the newer operating systems out there will automatically download and install drivers for pretty much everything you need. So you won't need to do it manually.

 

The only requirement for that to happen, is to have a working internet connection. If your internet connection is not automatically detected, you might need indeed the LAN/Ethernet driver. You can download that from a different machine and then transfer it and install it on this one.

 

So do that first. If you need specific drivers or you're not satisfied with the ones already downloaded by your operating system (again, this does not apply to all operating systems and hardware configurations, but it does apply to most and especially to the newer ones), you can go here and download what you need, depending on your operating system.
