Morning,

I bought a prebuilt PC that came with an OS preloaded but the mobo died and I had to get a new model. This being the case I had to buy an OS (Windows 7 Home 64). I got it off ebay so ofc it came with no framework disk meaning it does not have the NETWORK ADAPTER.

My question is what do I need to download on a flash drive to enable Internet so I can get the rest of the drivers. This is the site I'm pretty sure I need to be at just not sure what I need to get:

https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/M5A99FX_PRO_R20/HelpDesk_Download/

Specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64
Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0

Don't think it matters but:

Geforce 1080
Amd Fx-6300
SanDisk Ultra II 500GB

Edit: Thanks for any help in advance!
 
Solution
You are at the right site. My guess? You would have to do a trial and error thing. You could look in Device Manager where the yellow triangle is, and see which device you have. But that never really worked for me. I would download all 3 drivers, put them on a flash drive, and install them one at a time. If it doesn't work, then move on.

That's a little vague, it says there are 101 drivers available for it. I'd rather be sure of what I need since I live in BFE and have to drive 20 mins to a friend's house to borrow his computer.
 


What are you talking about? It's only 3 LAN drivers. As drkatz42 said, you can try the latest one. However, as a backup (especailly since you are driving 20mins), download all 3. It's a under 65mb. so a small flash drive will work fine. Click on the LAN (-) minus sign and transfer them to a USB stick. If you are still confused, here are the driect download links:
