i7-2600K compatible with Windows 10 Creators Update
Hi there, I see you're dealing with some older hardware and driver issues. Your setup includes an i7-2600k and an AsRock Extreme6 Z77 motherboard that's been working fine with Windows 10 Anniversary Update. You've used Windows 8.1 drivers for Intel RST and AsRock INF/IMEI, but with the Creators Update on your newer Skylake build, Asus released specific driver updates for those versions.
It’s a good idea to check if the Creators Update is compatible with your i7-2600k. Since you're running Windows 10 since AU, fresh installs typically require driver signing. If you decide to proceed, ensure you download the latest official drivers from Asus or Microsoft. If problems arise, downgrading to Windows 8.1 might be safer, especially if compatibility isn’t guaranteed. Let me know what you find!
I don't need to worry about it. Windows 10 includes many drivers, especially for older systems. You might also use the Intel Driver Update Utility. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/downloa...te-Utility It will check for Intel devices and provide updates.
On older systems the Windows 8 drivers appear to function well across all areas, but it’s best to obtain the most recent Win10 drivers from your MOBO’s website first. Also, ensure your BIOS is updated to the latest version. You should be all set.
