I have the following system and when I tried to upgrade to Windows 10 I found out that my motherboard is not supported and will not have drivers for Windows 10. It does however have driver for Windows 8.1.
Intel Core i7 2600 @ 3.4mhz
Asus P8H67-V Motherboard
8 mb RAM
Earthwatts 650W EA650
Video card MSI Geforce GTX Hawk 560ti OC
After spending the better part of a day on line with Microsoft to try and fix a user profile problem upon the free upgrade, reverting back to Windows 7 and trying the upgrade again, I am a bit leery to try the free upgrade again with Windows 8.1 drivers. I don’t really have that much time to waste yet again.
So if want Windows 10 I basically have to change my motherboard. The hitch is that I can’t really afford a new system.
Can I simply replace the motherboard and keep the processor or is the processor too old? If I can replace the motherboard do you have any models to suggest either Asus or Gigabyte.
Is it even worth it to replace only the motherboard? Also if I replace the motherboard, does that limit me too much later on if I want to replace the CPU for a better one?
I have tried to research it myself but I don’t really understand all the details and specifications for which CPU goes with what motherboard.
