Motherboard Drivers Issue

[jiggzo]

I cannot download the mobo drivers for my new PC. I've got the MSI Z270 Mobo and i7 7700k CPU however my CPU isn't compatible with the mobo drivers. I was wondering if there is anyway around this.

If you go to that above link and go down to the on-board VGA drivers you can see that it only supports a kaby lake CPU.

Note: I've downloaded those drivers and when I try to run it it says "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing this software."

Hi jiggzo

Only kaby lake Beta driver is available for Win7. The official driver if using Win7/8.1 operating system only supports upto Skylake (6700k)

Msi has included a Beta driver for Win7, don't know why probably they somehow know theres people running Win7 on these new boards which i think is silly.

Anyhow, for Win10 64bit (Check you've installed 64Bit and not 32Bit Windows) the official driver should support Kaby Lake.
