Vista Drivers for latest ASRock Haswell boards?

deltapapazulu · Jan 23, 2014

Just purchased a H81M-DGS, socket 1150 from newegg to pair with an Intel G3220 Haswell. Went to ASRock's website to download latest motherboard drivers and discovered that Windows Vista is not featured. It only lists drivers for Win7 and 8. I paid good money for this retail Vista Ultimate years ago and it has been rock solid and I plan to keep using it until extended support for it ends.

My question is where can I find H81M-DGS board drivers for my Windows Vista. Some of you might suggest investing in Win7 or 8 but right now that is just not economically feasible. I am really hoping I don't have to go to the 'night store' to acquire Win7 but if there are no Vista drivers for this board then I won't have much of a choice.

Nope, no Vista drivers for you. Sorry to see that, but it makes sense that ASRock didn't want to spend the money to support such a small group -- those that would install Vista. They left that to the higher end ASUS with their H81M.

So if I install Vista 64 onto my 'ASRock H81M-DGS LGA 1150' will it not work? I can't afford to purchase Win7/8 right now.

Sure, Vista will work but some of your motherboard on board devices may not (like Ethernet and USB 3.0 for example). You will just have to install it and find out which work.

Download your motherboard chipset driver from Intel, that will work fine.
