[SOLVED] wifi/Lan

[Jonaking]

I will be doing a build with the msi b450 tomahawk max. My question is will the Lan cable work when i plug it in or do i have to install drivers for it, if so how do i get those without an internet connection.
Many thanks.

Ethernet should work. Windows will probably install a generic driver for it during the OS install.

But, you can get all the relevant drivers now, and save them to a USB.

Windows 10 is not "free".

The install is freely available, direct from Microsoft.
The license to activate it is what costs money. Generally about $100 USD.
It will run Unactivated just fine, but it WILL have that watermark. And no customization of the Taskbar or desktop.

You create your own Win 10 USB, from some other working PC.
