I recently bought a new hdd and wanted to do a fresh install of windows 8.1 for my old computer. I found the necessary gpu drivers, but not for the mobo. The support for the mobo drivers only goes up to windows 7. Will I be able to install these drivers onto my new disk?

Mobo driver page (Msi X58 pro-e) :

Specs:
i7 920 , Radeon Hd 5770, X58 Pro-E, Corsair Vengeance 8gb, 1tb hdd

 
Solution
the drivers most likely are included in Windows 8.1.

you can always check the hardware manufacturers' website (Intel, Realtek, JMicron) for the drivers.
