Motherboard and CPU swap advice

Motherboards can vary greatly, having USB and Ethernet work for you "instantly" thats your experience, I must install Ethernet driver on mine and ever other of the over 50 PCs I have built in the past 10 years. To get it to work. Don't assume that everyone's experience is going to be similar to yours when their is alot of different hardware you have never tried.

He's using Haswell i3 with another MSI board, same shit as me except lower end.

their mother board drivers arent they? they tell the chipset how to use the raid array.... so completely related and you were so convinced you can't install drivers before you install windows.

Considering everything else I have works flawlessly without the drivers RAID probably does too, and even if it doesn't, that ONLY MATTERS if it's in RAID itself, and installing drivers like that is just not the same shit

you were so convinced you can't install drivers before you install windows.

I had no idea, I said this, I said I have no idea how you can install them on Windows without Windows.

how can I have installed an drivers on Windows before installing Windows?

At no point did you bother saying they weren't installed inside Windows, so they just don't count at all, completely different shit.

Your inexperience is very clear, you really need to be educated on what you are try to help people with.Look I am really not trying to put you down, just trying to teach you something. Helping people is great, its great your taking your time to do it. Just please do some research before you start commenting if your not sure about the question.

Congrats, if he DOES need them he can fucking install them! If he DOESN'T need them and everything works out of the box then huzzah don't bother installing useless drivers!

Funny that because I've been dealing with PCs longer than you. You're obviously using an old OS with older hardware.

How about YOU do some research, you were completely unaware Windows even had built in drivers until I told you 20 mins ago and you kept using the entirely made up and fake excuse to back up your argument "it won't be as fast or work properly"

Newsflash. You're wrong on all counts. In fact everything you have said so far has been wrong. The only thing you got right was instaling a driver before installing Windows, and that's a specific driver few people need and few people will ever use that normally wouldn't be installed, and you were pretending it had something to do with the regular SATA driver which apparently does nothing as I have repeatedly said the PC works fine WITHOUT these drivers.

I fixed an ACER recently. None of the drivers had Windows 10 versions. There isn't a SINGLE driver on that entire pc for anything that I installed other than putting in a spare GT210 to free up some ram.

Guess what? All the USB ports work, HDD works at full speed, all USBs work, all front panel USBs work and all rear USBs work along with everything on the PC running flawlessly.

Now are you gonna tell me Windows has no drivers? Why does everything work on the PC from stock? The drivers must have come from somewhere because I certainly didn't install them!
