Intel dq67ow with Windows 10

Hello,

I am thinking about getting this board. It does not state that it is compatible with Windows 10. Would it still work or should I look for a different one?

Many thanks.

Due to the age of the socket, its doubtful that any 1155 motherboard officially supports Windows 10. So, is the OS a big factor, or is it likely that the motherboard will still work with Windows 10 nevertheless?

Just checked Intel's website for this board. It has drivers for Windows 8.1 and something called 'OS Independent'. Would either of these work on Windows 10?

The motherboard will work with Windows 10.
Windows will install generic drivers during setup and during system updates.
Also you could manually use the Windows 8.1 drivers available from Intel website.
