I have a asus z87-k motherboard with a a itel i5-4670k , for which i am trying to upgrade the bios to accomodate an i7-4790k that i got from a friend. I can only update the bios through the utility bios updter tool provided by asus, which in turn requires me to update int the intel management engine interface (mei) driver.

I have made multiple attempts to install various versions of the mei driver, to no avail. I keep getting the error message 'This device is not supported'. It has been suggested on some threads here that i should uninstall the already installed drivers and reinstall an older mei driver.

However, i am unable to unistall the exisiting mei drivers as i dont know where to find them. Intel MEI does NOT show in my device manager under system devices.

Any help is very much appreciated.
